Abstract

The Strategic Plan for Agricultural Transformation in Rwanda (SPAT) is a strategy with a multi-sectoral approach and national coverage which sets out objectives and actions to be undertaken in order to improve the agricultural sector in Rwanda, more specifically to promote transformation from subsistence agriculture into commercial agriculture with all its involvements in terms of institutional, social changes of behaviour and distribution of roles and responsibilities between different stakeholders. The overall objective of the agricultural sector corresponds with the one of the National Agricultural Policy (NAP), more specifically the overall objective of the SPAT is to contribute in a sustainable manner to poverty reduction and to support Rwanda’s economic growth through increasing productivities of production factors, maximal valorisation of productions, diversification of income opportunities, preservation and maintenance of natural and environmental resources.
