Welcome! The reason for making this booklet is to share our lessons learnt in a way that helps all actors in strengthening the cooperatives of Rwanda. If you are working in the agricultural sector in Rwanda, whether you’re an agri business, a service provider, a trader or a processor, or a NGO, we would love for you to share these videos and stories with other cooperatives and their members to encourage them and give them confidence that they can also become commercially viable cooperatives with clear benefits for it’s members. Our lessons learnt provide vital insight into the agri business sector and we highly encourage any policy and programme developers among the readers/ viewers of this booklet to use this information in order to draft policies and (donor) programmes that match the local realities of all value chain actors. Enjoy and get inspired! Marthe Paauwe Country Manager SPARK Rwanda 7
