  3. National expectations Agriculture Objectives • Key role in driving industrial growth • Solution for food security and nutrition (eg stunting) • Source of wealth creation, jobs and income • A safety net for vulnerable households • An opportunity for Private Sector investment

  4. Strategic Priorities Agriculture-PSTA4 & CAADP

  5. Context Gender& Youth in Agriculture • Agric dominated by small-scale, subsistence, rain-fed farming, using traditional technologies and practices • About 25% of rural households headed by women • 40% of population <15 years while 27% aged between 16-30 • Youth (aged 15-34) comprise 77% of rural Population • Agric accounts for 65% of the national labor market force and up to 80% of the female labour force (2016) • 30% of employed women in urban areas • Agriculture pays less: 228FRW per hour in agriculture Industry: 529 FRW per hour; Services: 604 FRW per hour Labour force survey 2017

  6. AGS Vision Increased and sustainable productivity in the agriculture sector for Healthy and Wealthy women, men and youth.

  7. Gender Gap • Female and male farmers face different production conditions which impacts production decisions. • Gender gap in agricultural productivity estimated at 12% in 2013-2014. • Closing the gender gap in agricultural productivity could create the opportunity for a one-off increase in GDP of USD 418.6 million

  8. Key Inequality areas in Agriculture • Limited control over resources and decision making • Weak institutional capacity for gender-responsive development of the sector • Lower financial inclusion of women and youth • Limited access to extension support, inputs and technologies • Low participation in lucrative parts of agri-value chains

  9. Problem Analysis & Context Challenges of Agriculture in Rwanda

  10. Strategies & Interventions

  11. Expected Results

  12. Key Assumptions • MINAGRI will continue to commit to gender equality and prioritise progress on gender and youth mainstreaming; • Development partners and other stakeholders are committed to funding, supporting and implementing this AGS; • The empowerment model applied in the design of the AGS and it’s Theory of Change assumes the participants themselves are agents of and drivers of change; • Where evidenced approaches are not readily available for a change pathway (i.e. behaviour change at household level), implementors will buy into the long-term outcomes and commit to a process of piloting the approaches needed to achieve the required changes.

  13. Action Areas and corresponding Programme Areas

  14. Implementation Framework MINAGRI IMIHIGO Mainstream Item RAB/ NAEB/ District Imihigo MINAGRI/RAB/NAEB/District BUDGET MINAGRI Single Action Plan Empowerment/Project Item

  15. Entry Points for Mainstreaming

  16. Annual Budget Estimates The costing is indicative and intended to facilitate resourcing of the strategy, necessary decision making, phasing and prioritisation • The following forward actions are required: • Analysis of the plans of action and budget to identify activities covered by existing allocations • Consideration of activities that can be feasibly financed as MINAGRI recurrent line items. • Engagement with Development Partners to assess where there is existing alignment to the implementation plan and to negotiate funding support. • Technical support for activities in one or more packages to be reflected as project line item.

  17. Budget Funding Estimates by Category To assist in operationalising the strategy the activities have been prioritised to allow staged funding and implementation so that critical first activities can proceed whilst resourcing for other elements is in progress. *highly suitable for specific project/prog areas ^^ considered to be lower priority

  18. Recommendations DPs &IPs GSSWG MINAGRI
