The adoption of innovation platform approach is gaining
credence in the Districts of Rwanda. This paper gives a picture
of the Platforms initiated by Rwanda Agricultural Board (RAB)
in Kirehe, Bugesera, Nyamagabe and Muhanga Districts. It
describes also other platforms supported by external RAB
funded projects such as RAB/ASARECA Climate Change,
RAB/AGROBIO/ASARECA, RAB/ASARECA/BXW and
RAB/SIMLESA/ACIAR. Finaly it shows the
platforms’establishment plan accross the country for banana,
fish farming on Kivu Lake and beef cattle value-chains. The
main challenges remain funding and limited number of social
scientists capable to facilitate the work of the innovation
platforms established. However, there is high political support
for the approach and several projects intend to provide financial
support for Iinnovation platforms (IPs).
