Project background Information

• 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 1^st January 2024 and 31^st 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.

Context and needs of justification

Aligned with the second project's outcome, this initiative aims to enhance household food security by establishing home gardens for vulnerable households. These gardens serve as a direct source of nutritious food, contributing to food security by supplementing the household diet with fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This is particularly crucial for vulnerable households, who often face limited access to diverse and nutritious food and are impacted by price fluctuations. Additionally, these households may prioritize selling nutritious food over consuming it. To support the establishment of home gardens, rainwater harvesting facilities were provided to ensure a steady water suppl. In year one the 35 water harvesting tanks were distributed in Gakenke, Rulindo and Gakenke

In the same context, DUHMAIC-ADRI plans to procure rainwater tanks to supply water for home gardens. This will assist farmer group members, participants from the three districts involved in the project, in gaining knowledge through various sessions on home garden installation, enabling them to implement these practices at their own homes. As a result, this initiative will enhance the production of nutritious food among vulnerable households.
