CARE Austria, together with CARE International in Rwanda (CARE Rwanda), in partnership with DUHARANIRE AMAJYAMBERE Y’ICYARO (DUHAMIC-ADRI) are implementing KUNGAHARA: Resilient Systems for Food and Nutrition, running between 1st January 2024 and 31st December 2026, funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Austrian Development Cooperation. In line with the EU’s global objective of the KUNGAHARA Call for proposals, the overall objective of the project is to strengthen resilient food systems and nutrition security in Rwanda. To tackle the different factors hindering food availability and nutrition, the project will enact locally-led and owned change at every stage of the food system – production, aggregation, processing, distribution and consumption – through two complementary supply and demand outcomes:
Outcome 1: Equitable, sustainable, inclusive, productive and nutrition sensitive agricultural value chains in Gicumbi, Rulindo and Gakenke districts are strengthened; and
Outcome 2: The consumption of diverse and nutrient rich foods by vulnerable households, in particular women and children, in Gicumbi, Rulindo and Gakenke district is increased.
The project is targeting 31,000 small holder farmers and will use a holistic set of interventions to enhance food systems in a sustainable manner, equipping women and youth farmers ‘groups and cooperatives within the selected environment and nutrition-sensitive value chains with the skills, connections, and support to improve production and access to markets, and as a result, nutritious food availability and increase its consumption.
The aim of project’s outcome 2 is to promote Household food security through establishment of home garden to the vulnerable household. Home gardens provide a direct source of nutritious food for households. They contribute to food security by supplementing the household’s diet with fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. This is especially important for vulnerable households due firstly to limited access to diversified and nutritious food and price fluctuations, and secondly to tendencies to prioritize nutritious food for sale rather than consumption. During the establishment of home garden, there will be a need of agriculture inputs to support the establishment for home garden demonstration.
In the same context, DUHMAIC-ADRI would like to procure agriculture inputs for home garden demonstration that will support Farmer group members from the 3 districts of the project intervention of Gakenke, Ruindo and Gicumbi district to gain different session on home garden installation, that will help them to practice it at their home.
The main objective for this activity is to promote household food diversity through establishment of home garden to the targeted population from Gicumbi, Gakenke and Rulindo Districts.
The specific objectives are focused but not limited on:
Enhanced food security for vulnerable families, increased availability of local vegetables
