About the programme

Gishwati Milk Basin Development Project was a three-year (2013-2016) pilot phase project financed by SNV to support the Gishwati Milk Basin located in Rwanda’s Northern and western parts.

The main purpose of GMDP was to support a dairy sub-sector in Gishwati that would sustainably contribute to more milk and dairy products moved safely and affordably to both urban and rural consumers; improve the household food security and nutrition; reduce the incidence of rural poverty and sustainably increased farming family incomes; enhance the development opportunities for women and youth; national and local capacity built through the introduction of modern technologies and knowhow; the environment safeguarded by promoting integrated farming, nutrient recycling and the use of renewable energy.
