Why Rwanda is not resting on her laurels despite attaining food security levels

Last month, an ActionAid report ranked Rwanda among three top nations that are most prepared to deal with food challenges, in a survey that covered 28 developing countries, coming only after Brazil and Malawi.  It beat all her neighbors, including DR Congo, which came last on the ranking. The country’s performance is down to consistent policy interventions over the past few years, including the Crop Intensification Programme (CIP), irrigation schemes, terracing, among others.
