1. About SNV
SNV is a global development partner rooted in the African and Asian countries where we operate. With 60 years of experience and a team of approximately 1,600 people, it is our mission to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems to enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.
1.1. Introduction and Background
The Youth Entrepreneurship in Agriculture in Rwanda (YEA-R) project, a five-year program funded by the Mastercard Foundation, aims to empower 40,000 young Rwandans in the agrifood sector by fostering entrepreneurship and creating dignified, fulfilling and equitable work opportunities. Implemented by a consortium led by SNV, this $20 million program focuses on developing relevant skills, building resilient market systems, and addressing key barriers like limited access to finance and market information. With a strong emphasis on gender equity and social inclusion, YEA-R project will support youth, particularly in the horticulture and poultry sectors, to establish successful agribusinesses. In season C 2025, demonstration plots have been established in targeted districts to showcase good agricultural practices, climate-smart innovations, and improved technologies in horticulture. Building on the idea of imparting both practical and theoretical skills to group participants within 2 seasons, SNV is procuring inputs to be used in 2026A season for all demonstrations plots. This support to project participants will lead to the adoption of horticulture and poultry production practices and farm management on their respective farm and ensure sustainable work opportunities
1.2. Objectives, Expected outcomes and Target
While the demo plots have provided vital learning and skills transfer, climate change effects such dry spells, new pests and diseases are limiting factors to optimize the yields and quality of horticulture produce due to vulnerability of horticulture crops to climate. Despite these challenges, project participants are eager to continue learning climate smart agriculture practices to optimize productivity. Therefore, supporting youth groups to adopt climate resilient practices and expand production beyond demo plots remains a priority for the YEA-R project. It is against this background that YEA-R project intends to award most performing youth groups with greenhouses which are crucial infrastructure to
increase and improve yields of horticulture crops in the face of climate change.
1.2.1. Specific objectives include:
- To provide most performing youth groups with greenhouses
- Facilitate the youth groups to learn Modern farming techniques
- Improve resilience of youth groups to climate change effects
- Improve the quantity and quality of vegetables
- Create work opportunities for young women, men and People with disability
- Increase income of youth groups through production of horticulture crops all year round
- To strengthen youth and women’s participation in sustainable, commercial horticulture value chains.
1.2.2. Expected outcomes
- Increased adoption of modern farming techniques including climate Smart agriculture practices
- Enhanced yields and productivity of key vegetables (Tomato, green pepper, cucumber, etc.)
- Improved farm-level profitability and market competitiveness.
- Creation of work opportunities, especially for youth and women.
- Improved resilience to climate change
