1.     Background

EUCORD is an international NGO with headquarters based in Brussels (formally registered as a cooperative in the Netherlands) with offices in Africa and Kigali in particular. EUCORD’s vision is to nurture more prosperous and entrepreneurial rural communities in developing countries. Its mission is to help people living in poverty in developing countries improve their wellbeing, by increasing farmers’ capacity to sustainably grow quality crops matched to the commercial needs of the agribusiness sector and in doing so, increase food security, develop the private sector and improve the livelihoods of rural communities. To fulfil its mission, EUCORD focuses on supporting farmers increase their crop yields and to develop efficient value chains, while working with the private sector to guarantee a demand for produce and a supply of key inputs.

EUCORD helps farmers to reach their full potential while allowing businesses to rely on locally sourced crops. EUCORD provides end-to-end value chain development services, including: access to finance, capacity building, climate smart agriculture, enterprise, development, market assessment, nutrition and value chain development.

In Rwanda, EUCORD has successfully implemented several development projects since 2014. Currently, EUCORD is implementing two projects.

One of these is the PROFARM Project, supported by the European Union through the KUNGAHARA Programme. The PROFARM Project, “Promoting an Integrated Farming System around Sunflower, Maize and Vegetables to Stimulate Resilient Agriculture and Nutrition Security for Smallholder Farmers in Rwanda,” aims to promote integrated and climate-resilient agricultural production while improving the livelihoods and nutrition security of smallholder farmers.

EUCORD is also implementing the Sunflower (Ibihwagari) Project, funded by the Achmea Foundation. The project aims to improve the resilience and livelihoods of smallholder sunflower farmers in Rwanda by increasing crop productivity and strengthening farmers’ access to markets and financial services.
