Brief
Project Overview:
Project Overview:
The
Rwanda NgurizaNshore activity seeks to facilitate the emergence of a dynamic
off-farm sector that can generate more and higher wage employment for the broad
majority of Rwandans who are currently engaged in subsistence agriculture and
other marginal economic activities. The activity’s goal is to encourage the
creation and growth of productive off-farm businesses that can generate
productive off-farm employment for rural populations in order to reduce
poverty. It will achieve this by alleviating constraints to entrepreneurship,
in particular but not exclusively, constraints to finance.
