By solving the aflatoxin problem in maize, the pilot sought to connect smallholder farmers with premium buyers of domestically produced maize.
The evaluation covered the pilot period from October to December 2021 and served the double purpose of accountability and learning (with emphasis on the latter). The evaluation team used a range of qualitative and quantitative tools and data, including a large-scale field survey of smallholder farmers and qualitative primary data collected in the South of Rwanda. The analysis addressed the standard international evaluation criteria and mainstreamed gender throughout.
