From May to June 2023, a joint initiative between CNFA and SCOPEinsight, with support from AMEA, aimed to assess the effectiveness and impact of capacity-building services provided to agro-input retailers under the CNFA-implemented Hinga Weze program in Rwanda. The flagship Hinga Weze program, funded by USAID with $32.6 million USD and implemented by CNFA from June 2017 to June 2022, had the primary objective to increase smallholder farmers’ incomes, improve their nutrition outcomes, and enhance their resilience to climate change.
