2. Value addition and marketing: Cooperative Development & Storage

In all districts farmers are sensitized to be grouped in cooperatives and their capacity strengthened

Farmers will be trained in storage and conditioning of produce to minimize post harvest losses

Hermetic storage will be imported and storage facilities constructed

Storage facilities of ex-OPROVIA will be rehabilitated

3. Ecosystem rehabilitation and watershed management: Activities

Activities of concern: forestation of bare mountains, road sides, rehabilitation of degraded lands, etc

Protections of rivers, lakes, marshlands and protection of fragile ecosystems

18

4. Resettlement: Imidugudu

An Umudugudu will have between 100 and 150 HHs and will be located where there are infrastructures or where they can be developed easily

Trials for getting roofing materials (tiles) burnt with peat are underway in Muhanga (Southern Province)

Modern kilns will be constructed in all districts

especially using youth cooperatives.

19

5. Development of off-farm jobs and Social Protection

MINICOM, MIFOTRA and MINEDUC have an important role in training

An inventory of off-farm jobs will be done and targeted training conducted

Those engaged in these jobs will be given/facilitated to get Off farm credit packages

Those having land without means to put it to use will be sensitized to lend to those able to use

Landless but having strength will be assisted to get off-farms jobs through HIMO and will be facilitated to get off farm credit packages

Landless having no strength will receive special social assistance to help get food, Mutuelle de sante, education for children, handcraft jobs

20

6. Development of rural financial systems

The team comprising of MINAGRI, MINECOFIN,

MINICOM, BNR, BRD, UBPR and Cooperative

Task Force will develop the strategy for this

program. The first draft is ready this Monday

Farmers received seeds and fertilizers on credit

Farmers are organized in cooperatives
