USADF's Rwanda Program


USADF re-established a country program in Rwanda in 2006, after a 12-year hiatus. USADF shares the Government of Rwanda's commitment to private sector development, particularly in export-oriented sectors such as specialty coffee and home décor. Rwanda’s program includes mostly large-member cooperatives involved in rice, passion fruit, tea, tomato and banana production and a handful of closely held businesses. USADF Rwanda will continue to support the development of smallholder agricultural producers, small-scale agribusinesses (SSAs) and small enterprises (SMEs) based in rural areas as well as social programs that benefit the “marginalized” groups: low income people, women and youth. The intent is for USADF to be geographically dispersed with visibility in each province.
