Description

About TechnoServe: 

Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has been at the heart of TechnoServe’s work around the world for over 50 years. TechnoServe is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty.

The low-income communities in which we work are full of enterprising people. Their small-scale farms and businesses are the keys to economic development. But they face many challenges: low literacy, lack of access to jobs and markets, unpredictable political dynamics and, increasingly, the effects of climate change. For many women and young people, the challenges are even more daunting. Working with TechnoServe staff, people around the world are lifting themselves out of poverty. The results are amazing…when incomes increase and living conditions for families get better, they are able to access health care and education previously out of reach. Communities and even whole countries are better off.

Program Overview:

TechnoServe Rwanda is working with Sida to design and implement a five-year, ReGenerate Rwanda program (2022-2027). ReGenerate Rwanda has an ambitious goal of empowering women and youth across Rwanda by making sustainable improvements to their participation in the market place.  ReGenerate Rwanda Program aims to sustainably increase incomes for 30,000 women, youth and men living in poverty in Western and Southern Rwanda.

ReGenerate Rwanda uses a market systems development approach (“MSD”) and will work with partners across the public and private sector to invest in changes that benefit women and youth. For example, increasing the involvement and power of women and youth to buy and sell in the market, improving the quality of goods and services to women and youth, and advocating to change the rules and norms that determine how women and youth are engage in the different growing sector. ReGenerate Rwanda’s activities focus on sectors with high-growth potential for women and youth, including poultry and horticulture.
