One hundred thousand small farmer households in North and South Kivu are beneficiaries of an inclusive development project in the east of the DRC called TRIDE. This project, which is implemented by a consortium of three international NGOs with financial support from the Netherlands, aims to improve food security and transform households from simple producers for consumption into players in the commercial circuit.
For three years, this project has enjoyed significant success in the provinces of North and South Kivu. However, to achieve its objectives by 2025, it is crucial that the authorities get involved at all levels and take ownership of this initiative.
According to Timothée Rukundo, country director of the NGO Zoa in the DRC, the average size of land currently available to families is 0.4 hectares, while studies have shown that it would take at least 0.8 hectares for a family can escape poverty and improve their food security. The TRIDE project therefore offers a real opportunity to improve food security for these small farmers.
The first meeting of the steering committee for this project was held in Goma, bringing together all the stakeholders involved. This multi-sectoral initiative is an important step towards the economic transformation of the region and the fight against poverty.
