"The escalation of the Rwandan civil war in April 1994 resulted in the death of up to one million persons and the displacement of another two million. Agriculture, the main occupation of upwards of 90% of the
population, was acutely affected as civil disruptions peaked in the middle of a major growing season. Overall harvest losses during this period were officially estimated to be as high as 60% (Dr. lyameremye n.d). The aid community feared the worst in terms of farmers' ability
to find their agricultural bearings again after the war.Non-govemmental organisations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, and bilateral donors responded swiftly and on a wide scale to the post-genocide crisis: some 30 intervened in emergency seed provision during the first
season alone." |
