IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH ON MALNUTRITION & STUNTING AND IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH ON FERTILIZERS IN RWANDA
The Government of Rwanda is committed to funding research and innovation development through National Research and Innovation Fund (NRIF) that was launched in June 2018. The overall goal is to enhance opportunities for data-driven innovations and integration of research findings into policy and practice to improve the wellbeing of Rwandan citizens. Implementation research using innovative methods to address stunting & malnutrition as major challenge affecting Rwanda is critically important to improve high quality and standards of life for Rwandans. Achieving high quality of wellbeing for Rwandans is enshrined in the National Strategy for Transformation (NST-1) as the medium-term plan to achieve Rwanda’s vision 2050. Therefore, in order to achieve the national development targets, it is imperative to address stunting and malnutrition which is one of emerging national social, economic, and environmental challenge affecting Rwanda.
