Project Background

TechnoServe is implementing “ReGenerate Rwanda” a program funded by the Swedish Embassy that aims to break the cycle of vulnerability, poverty, and gender inequality in some of Rwanda’s poorest and environmentally fragile districts in the Western and Southern Provinces. The program uses a market systems approach to catalyze systemic changes that result in sustainable, increased incomes for tens of thousands of poor people, particularly women, living in Western and Southern Rwanda. ReGenerate Rwanda applies an environmentally sustainable/regenerative business lens to reduce economic, environmental, and social barriers that keep poor women, youth, and men trapped in poverty and unlock opportunities for their full engagement in and benefit from economic opportunities. To achieve its objective, ReGenerate Rwanda is working in close partnership with a diverse range of market actors to support a portfolio of interventions within priority sectors and cross-cutting market functions.
