ACDI/VOCA
is currently preparing for a Nguriza Nshore Activity in Rwanda funded by
USAID. The anticipated project will facilitate emergence of a dynamic off-farm
sector and will strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem, business development
services and access to finance. By alleviating constraints to entrepreneurship
and expanding investment opportunities, off-farm businesses will be expanded in
both urban and rural environments and will stimulate employment opportunities
for rural populations. This forward-thinking project will increase private
sector competitiveness through interventions in financial and enterprise
development sectors. The Nguriza Nshore Activity is envisioned to start in
2018.
