Rwanda News Agency reported that the European Commission has provided EUR 1 million to IFPRI to support the Ministry of Agriculture in Rwanda to enhance skills in the analysis of public investment priorities and policy options for the Covid-19 recovery period. This grant will support the Government of Rwanda to implement the agriculture sector strategy and in particular its contribution to the national development targets. David Spielman, senior research fellow and leader of IFPRI’s Rwanda Strategy Support Program said, “Rwanda’s commitment to evidence-based decision-making on agriculture and nutrition policies is a critical force behind IFPRI’s engagement. We are fortunate to be working with such motivated partners with a clearly articulated demand for high-quality analytics, collaboration, and capacity development.” Republished in Africain.info.
