Lack of quality seeds and difficulties getting essential agricultural inputs have been significant challenges for farmers across Burundi. The IITA–CGIAR led AID-I GLR project – known as the Kugwiza Project in Burundi – is addressing this critical need by not only equipping farmers with the knowledge to acquire high-quality seeds but also forging strong connections between farmers and local input suppliers so that quality seeds are available to farmers.
Consistent access to high-quality seeds and related inputs improves both productivity and profitability. By facilitating partnerships with local input suppliers, the project has created a reliable network to enhance timely access to essential agricultural inputs, going beyond quality seeds to cover other essential inputs such as fertilizer and lime.
In Kayanza Province, World Vision Burundi leads a consortium of scaling partners whose goal is to empower small-scale farmers through good agronomic practices and better crop varieties. Triphonie Hakizimana is one such farmer. At 43 and a mother of four, her livelihood has been positively transformed by the project. |
