Rwanda: New Project to Boost Engagement of Youth in Agriculture

Posted on June, 21, 2021 at 09:24 am


Rwandan youth engaged in agriculture have been urged to showcase their projects to be able to stand a chance of winning a prize in a competition that has been organized by Rwanda Organic Agriculture Movement (ROAM) in partnership with an international non-profit organization called Access Agriculture.

The prizes to win go up to Rwf4 million, according to organisers.

The Chief Executive Officer of ROAM, Lise Chantal Dusabe shed more light on how this project will work.

"Young farmers will submit their agricultural projects to Access Agriculture and only four will be picked. There will be a mentorship programme where they will learn more on entrepreneurship in agriculture and be given materials or their prizes to be used in implementing their projectors" she said.
