Strategic Updates
• The Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) hosted the dissemination event of the 2024 Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA) on 14 March 2025. The exercise was jointly implemented by MINAGRI with the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda and WFP, with findings indicating 83 percent of Rwandan households as food secure, an increase by 4 percent from 2021.
• Following the recommendation from the 2024 CFSVA dissemination to investigate the drivers of persistent stunting in Rwanda; WFP and the National Child Development Agency met to discuss the possibility to conduct the Modelling and Mapping the Risk of Inadequate Micronutrient Intake (MIMI) research in Rwanda, which will provide analysis on the micronutrient status in the country. The concept and approach were presented, discussed, and endorsed and NCDA will chair a new technical working group, bringing together expertise from various sectors to oversee and provide strategic support to the analysis, including the definition of its policy objectives.
• WFP together with other UN country team members visited Rome Based Agencies (RBA) project sites in Ruhango district to understand the joint contribution of FAO, IFAD and WFP to more resilient food systems, improve collaboration and foster a "One UN" approach.
• WFP, in collaboration with MINAGRI, the Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture, and the Mennonite Central Committee, organized the first-ever National Conservation Agriculture Symposium, which was attended by representatives from all 30 Rwandan districts. This paves the way for conservation agriculture acceleration and scale up across the country.
