    In Rwanda, a country with significant agricultural potential, numerous dedicated non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operate within the agricultural sector, focusing on environmental and sustainable development. These organizations play a crucial role in supporting local farmers, promoting sustainable farming practices, and conserving the country's natural resources.
    
    One of the leading organizations in this field is SNV Rwanda. The organization works with smallholder farmers, supporting the growth of their incomes and reducing their environmental impact. SNV Rwanda facilitates the development of innovative public-private partnerships that contribute to increased agricultural exports and the development of environmentally friendly agribusiness.
    
    Another important organization is APEFA, which addresses issues of environmental degradation, climate change, climate-smart agriculture, and food security in Rwanda. APEFA strives for the effective integration of the Rwandan population, especially youth and women, in the process of solving environmental problems.
    
    Also noteworthy is the Rwanda Initiative for Sustainable Development (RISD), which engages in policy research, networking, and advocacy in the field of sustainable development. RISE (Rwanda Initiative for Sustainable Environment & Agriculture) is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 that focuses on agriculture, the environment, and health.
