BACKGROUND
Action pour la Protection de l’Environnement et la Promotion des Filières Agricoles (APEFA) received a grant from Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) for the implementation of Community capacity building in the areas of livelihoods and agroforestry under Forest Landscape Restoration in the Mayaga Region Project and intend to use portion of this fund for the recruitment of a technical team to support in the implementation of this project.
APEFA is a National Non-Government Organization founded by people concerned by environment degradation and food security in Rwanda. It aims at supporting the country to create resilient agricultural ecosystems and sustainable food security through driving climate-smart practices, implementing sustainable solutions to improve nutrition and food security outcomes, and improving watershed management.
APEFA works to give vulnerable communities the opportunity to lift themselves out of food insecurity and malnutrition. By equipping people with the knowledge and tools they need to feed themselves.
Our strategies seek to build people’s capacities, leadership, and confidence. We train women and men, equipping them with the skills, methods, and knowledge needed to take self-reliant actions to improve their lives and conditions in their communities. We use also the ‘Twigire’ extension model which is a national strategy that decentralizes extension services to the village level (Umudugudu), to empower the agricultural promoters living daily with farmers
The overall objective of this assignment is to build the capacity of communities in managing natural resources, maintaining forests resources while increasing agricultural production. This is aligned with the main objective of the project to strengthen ownership of communities and local civil society organizations in Forest Landscape Restoration in the region of Mayaga.
