Rwanda’s Fourth Strategic Plan for Agricultural Transformation (PSTA IV) presents an ambitious road map to dramatically change the country’s agricultural sector and rural economy. Released in 2018, the plan forms a critical component of Vision 2050, intended to guide Rwanda’s transformation into an upper middle income country by 2035 and a high income country by 2050.
PSTA IV’s goals are clear, and the spirit of cooperation around the plan is strong. But what does it really take to advance a transformational agenda from a planning document to action on the ground? And how does evidence shape this process?
