USAID delegation commends AID-I GLR project progress in Rwanda and Burundi

A delegation led by Robert Bertram, USAID’s Chief Scientist at the Bureau for Resilience, Environment and Food Security, during a recent visit to Rwanda and Burundi, has lauded the remarkable progress achieved and the early impact made by partners in fifteen months of implementing the AID-I GLR project.

While witnessing the project’s early impact, Bertram stated, “The dedication and innovation displayed by our partners in Rwanda and Burundi are commendable. Their efforts are instrumental in transforming agricultural landscapes and enhancing regional food security.”
