Rwanda posted an annual growth rate of 10.9 percent in 2021—a strong recovery from the downturn caused by COVID-19 in 2020. But today, as new crises upset the global economy, Rwanda must again muster the strength to navigate uncertain times and maintain its course. That means staying on track to achieve the long-term social and economic transformation outlined in the National Strategy for Transformation. IFPRI Rwanda, in collaboration with MINAGRI, hosted a 5 day learning event from February 28 through March 4,2022 using the CGE model to analyze alternative public investment priorities in the agriculture sector, rural economy, and food systems.

Rwanda is embarking on an ambitious transformation process to move itself from a low-income country to a middle-income country by 2035, with agriculture playing a central role. IFPRI's new research looks at PSTA 4’s contribution to date—not only to economic growth, but also to employment creation, poverty reduction, and other economic improvements—and how to improve returns during the second half of its implementation.
