In a transformative step toward enhancing Rwanda’s agricultural productivity, the Rwanda Soil Information Service (RwaSIS) was officially launched on November 29, 2024. This innovative project, a collaboration between the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) and the Excellence in Agronomy (EiA) initiative under International Potato Center (CIP), is set to revolutionize the country’s farming practices. With substantial funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, RwaSIS aims to tackle pressing challenges in the agricultural sector, such as inefficient fertilizer use and the underutilization of Rwanda’s diverse agro-ecological conditions.
