Third plan strategique pour la transformation agricole (strategic plan for the transformation of agriculture) PSTA 3 is a five-year program covering the period 2013-14 to 2017-18. Its strategic objectives are to:(i) intensify, commercialize, and transform the Rwandan agriculture sector to enhance food security and nutrition, reduce poverty, and drive rapid economic growth; and (ii) accelerate sustainable increases and an expanded private sector role in production, processing, and value addition and commercialization of staple crops, export commodities, and livestock products. Under second economic development and poverty reduction strategy (EDPRS 2), PSTA 3's high-level targets are: agriculture growth of 8.5 percent per annum; the share of agriculture gross domestic product (GDP) reduced to 25 percent; and the number of households with good food consumption increased to 90 percent. The PSTA 3 comprises four strategic program areas and 24 component subprograms (SPs). The strategic program areas and their outcomes are: agriculture and animal resource intensification; research, technology transfer, and organization of farmers; private sector-driven value chain development and expanded investments; and institutional results-focused development and agricultural cross-cutting issues. Financed by the International Development Association (IDA) operation and co-financed by other development partners (DPs), the presented PforR program will support a time slice of the national PSTA 3 (medium-cost funding scenario), including its four programs and 24 SPs. The main focus of the PforR operation will be to support the delivery of the strategic results of the PSTA 3 program, while also providing value-added contributions to the content and processes required to efficiently and effectively implement. The PforR will support core components and activities of PSTA 3 while recognizing important linkages and synergies across the four programs and SPs.  Réduire
