The total cost of the programme is US$57.4 million. IFAD is providing US$48.7 million, including a grant of US$18.7 million. IFAD’s Executive Board approved supplementary financing of US$8.5 in April 2018. This project benefits approximately 128,700 households, especially woman-headed households and households with little land and which are involved in coffee or tea production, sericulture and horticulture.

The total project cost is US$83.4 million, and it is expected to benefit about 32,400 rural households. IFAD is financing approximately US$27 million, half in loan and half in grant form. The project is strengthened through an investment of US$7.0 million from the Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP), which aims to increase smallholder resilience.

3.Rwanda Dairy Development Project — RDDP (2017-2022)

RDDP is meant to contribute to pro-poor economic growth and improve the livelihoods of resource-poor rural households.
