What needed solving
ISHEMA is setting up production units at agricultural Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) to run as real businesses, with profits flowing into a skills development fund.
To work, the model needs a commercial entity within RTB with a transparent, auditable trail of funds, and clear rules on who owns, uses and maintains project assets during and after the project.
How we tackled it

Lessons learnt
Reviewed comparable Rwandan models, including IPRC’s commercial arm.

- 3
