In an interactive webinar, CNFA will present their work on Farm Service Centers and how the use of SCOPEinsight‘s input retailer assessment tool and IFC’s Last Mile Retailer curriculum has helped farmers to access increased agro-inputs at lower prices on a regular basis and relevant training and/or information related to farming, thereby increasing their productivity and sales. With the support of this solution, many farmers can shift from subsistence farming to market-oriented production systems and professionalization, an important contribution increasing to food security in Rwanda.

The webinar will also cover the tools used: SCOPEinsight’s Input Retailer assessment, the IFC’s Last Mile Retailer curriculum and Farm Service Centers.
