UBUDEHE to boost
agricultural production
Cow husbandry has increased agricultural production The Gatwe II village, Musaza Cell, Musaza Sector in Kirehe district has significantly participated in ubudehe program (95%). The village has chosen the cow breeding project . The manure from Ubudehe cows is shared among the village residents. Each resident takes one week to cut fodder crops for cows and another week for transporting the manure. Other Ubudehe achievements by the village include:
HIMO norms and standards.
From discussions with most of our partners in the implementation of the HIMO/LIPW approach, it is clear that there is a need for a general framework specifying the standards typical of a HIMO/LIPW project to avoid confusion between a HIMO/LIPW project with impacts on poverty reduction and a project that uses lots of workforce without impact on poverty reduction for beneficiaries. read more
Vision 2020 Umurenge Program
During the Akagera retreat of February 2007 (Akagera IV), the leadership of the country debated on the scale and depth of poverty in Rwanda as well as the possible remedies. It was found that at the rate of poverty reduction observed between 2001/02 (corresponding to the EICV1) and 2005/06 (corresponding to the EICV2) the country would only achieve the Vision 2020 poverty target of 30% in 2030. i.e To reduce the poverty rate from 57% in 2007 to to 30% in 2020, the country was to observe a reduction of 27 percentage points. and Given the average per capita consumption growth of 3% per year, and the efficiency in poverty reduction of -0.39,2; that target would be achieved in 23 years. therefore, a period of 23 years leads to 2030. or 10 years after 2020. in this regard, VUP was put in place to revive the targets of Vision 2020, by integrating local development efforts to accelerate the rate of poverty eradication, rural growth, and social protection. read more
