This paper describes outcomes of a capacity development effort
undertaken by the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity
Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), in collaboration with the
Rwanda Government, the Forum for Agricultural Research in
Africa (FARA) and Association for Strengthening Agricultural
Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) to rebuild
research capacity for Rwanda. Based on indentified
priority needs by the Rwanda Government, RUFORUM with
funding from SCARDA (Strengthening Capacity for
Agricultural Research for Development in Africa), supported
the training of initially 11 MSc students in target areas to help
jumpstart the research system. Additional 6 MSc students were
trained as part of capacity development for the National
University of Rwanda. The 17 Students trained at different
universities identified by RUFORUM and have since returned
to Rwanda and are championing development processes.
