Rwanda: Climate-Resilient Post-Harvest and Agribusiness Support Project (PASP)
Post-harvest losses are one of the greatest sources of inefficiency in agricultural production in Rwanda. To counter this, the Climate-Resilient Post-Harvest and Agribusiness Support Project (PASP) pioneered the Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) model which combines weather data with farmers’ knowledge to enhance their decision-making.
Farmers were taught how to interpret climate information and predict rainfall, thus improving their capacity to adapt to climate change. Interventions reduced food and milk losses at post-harvest, improved yields and enhanced food security of households involved in the project.
