Organic Pesticide Making & Governance Training under ISEC

As part of the Inclusive Agri-Service Delivery for Employment Creation (ISEC) project, 49 young participants from Kayonza, Huye, and Rwamagana received hands-on training in March 2025 on making organic pesticides using locally available materials.

Delivered by Kilimo Trust, in partnership with AGRA and the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB), the training:

• Equips youth with eco-friendly, low-cost pest control solutions

• Improves produce quality in avocado and chili value chains

• Builds legal literacy on cooperative formation and governance

ISEC is on track to train 3,000 youth and establish sustainable, youth-led Agri-Service businesses to meet evolving farmer and market needs across Rwanda.
