Role of Public-Private Partnerships in Enhancing Sustainable Agricultural Projects in Rwanda

Abstract

This study examines the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in enhancing sustainable agricultural projects in Rwanda, using the Twigire Muhinzi initiative as a case study. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the research combined both quantitative data from structured questionnaires and qualitative data from key informant interviews. The study found that PPPs significantly contributed to the provision of agricultural inputs, capacity building, and the establishment of market linkages. However, challenges such as limited coordination, inadequate funding, and policy constraints hinder the full potential of PPPs. The study recommends improved coordination among stakeholders, increased financial investment, and policy reforms to enhance PPP effectiveness in agriculture.
