Risk vs Reward Cont’d:

Impamvu u Rwanda ruterimbere byihuse nuko gov’t ifata calculated risks.
Baravuga bati niba dushaka kuba regional hub ya conferences and events tourism, dukeneye kubaka convention center, BK Arena, kwagura Amahoro stadium, new airport, fiber optic network, etc

Ariko mubyukuri imisoro iva mubaturage ntabwo iba ihagije kubaka izo infrastructures zose.
Bakora imibare bakavuga bati reka dufate ideni twubake ibyo bikorwa remezo byihuse kuko nidutegereza ngo tuzakusanye imisoro bizatinda cyane. Iyo imibare igaragaza returns zizafasha gov’t kwishyura iryo deni, barabyemeza.

Iyo ni risk baba bafashe, ariko akenshi tubona returns nziza.
Urugero muri 2022 u Rwanda rwinjije $445M in tourism revenue, $62.4M from hosting meetings and conferences according to The EastAfrican.
Hari nizindi returns nyinshi zitoroshye kubara mumadolari.

Natwe rero nuko dukwiye kubaka ingo zacu. Nonese uzarindira uti ‘mbere yuko nkora any investments, ngomba kubanza gukusanya amafaranga ahagije nyakuye muri salary yange’
Uzarindira kugeza ryari se niba salary yawe na monthly expenses nta difference nini irimo?!

Tugomba kwiga uburyo twakoresha neza amafaranga yabandi e.g banks, private lenders, investors etc

Kandi tugomba kumenyera gufata calculated risks. “You’ve Got To Jump!”

Lastly, invest in expanding your range of knowledge and skill set.
FYI, before I started investing in real estate, I took a six week course that cost me $8k.

Under @realms2020 project, a meeting was held at @NyabihuDistrict to establish “Multi-Sector Platform(MSP)" for the promotion of regenerative agriculture practices. Aim was to bring together stakeholders from various sectors to discuss & collaborate.

[USAID Hinga Wunguke @HingaWunguke]

We are out in the communities talking to farmers and agrodealers about Farm Service Services (FSC) previously funded by @USAIDRwanda. Now assessing the viability of creating 7 new FSCs to act as one-stop centers for farmers to improve productivity and to access inputs & markets.

[USAID Hinga Wunguke @HingaWunguke]

Interesting dialogue with Prof @AlfredBizoza on recent research on post-harvest handling practices among farmers. The research discussion will inform Hinga Wunguke interventions with market actors to enable farmers adopt appropriate PHH practices and to increase their incomes💰.

[REALMS @realms2020]

Farmer Field Schools provide practical, ‘learning through doing’ techniques that make regenerative agriculture practices more accessible to smallholder farmers.

[REALMS @realms2020]

REALMS Project, in partnership with @RDO_Rwanda organised a study tour for Farmer Field Facilitator from Ngororero and Nyabihu districts, Rwanda. Facilitators learnt techniques for making organic fertiliser, that will be shared with smallholder farmers across their districts.

[REALMS @realms2020]

Realms Project works with smallholder #farmers and SMEs in #Kenya and #Rwanda.

“Our target is to reach 10,000 farmers directly. We are close, over 8000 farmers have been trained and supported in regenerative #agriculture solutions.”
Patience Kikoni, REALMS Project Manager

[CNFA @CNFA]

@FtFHingaWunguke @USAIDRwanda Our @FtFHingaWunguke Chief of Party Dan Gies reminds us that “the success of the last mile approach is contingent on the quality of the agrodealers”. CNFA focuses on building the capacity of agrodealers because of their critical position of trust with smallholder farmers.

Increasing shocks, incl. more frequent unpredictable weather, fluctuating food prices, & lower agricultural production, are becoming the "new normal," meaning local decisions can impact #foodsecurity of millions of people globally. https://t.co/YaldMEYUQL
