SEAD West: Strengthen Education for Agricultural Development in West Rwanda OKP-ICP-RWA-103159 The project has to contribute to the following impact; and must achieve the outcomes and outputs as stated below.

-	Long-term impact: to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG-2):
End hunger through reduction of malnutrition;
Promotion of agricultural growth; and
The creation of ecologically sustainable food systems.

-	Medium-term impact:
(i) Education system (TVET/HE) is of good quality, relevant and accessible (SDG 4);
(ii) Partnerships between persons and organisations are inclusive and sustainable (SDG 17);
(iii) Organisations key to (sectoral) inclusive development in Rwanda are strengthened by inflow of enhanced workforce.

-	Outcome(s) at project level: 
1. TVET/HE organisations (in Rwanda and in NL) perform better their core tasks, firmly embedded in their environment (in line with country/regional specific labour market needs & aiming at inclusiveness);
2. Enhanced knowledge and skills of individuals and organisations in line with country/regional specific labour market needs & aiming at inclusiveness (in Rwanda and in the NL).
To that end, the following outputs must be achieved by the end of the project:

1.1	Curricula and outreach courses are developed, revised and strengthened with the result that students are enrolled at and farmers, cooperative members, agribusinesses and agro-service providers participate in the new education and training programmes related to food & nutrition security offered by IPRC Karongi and selected TVET institutions (TSS/VTC) in the districts of the project.
1.2	Staff of IPRC Karongi and selected TVET institutions in the project’s districts, have acquired a  relevant set of competencies: a) Pedagogical/didactical competencies, including curriculum development/revision, to develop and deliver competency based, market relevant and inclusive curricula; b) Technical/academic competencies to increase integration of current technologies, theories and techniques in academic programmes and innovations and c) Training of Trainers competencies to effectively develop and deliver community outreach services to both private sector and extension service providers.
1.3	Services, Training & Innovation Centre (STIC), catering for the needs of the horticulture, poultry and dairy value chains are established at IPRC Karongi, as a sustainably managed PPP instrument, to achieve synergies and higher levels of effective collaboration between private sector, government stakeholders, and education and training providers. This includes : a) initiating, conducting and disseminating relevant research and innovation; b) identifying, developing and providing relevant outreach services, contributing to sustained food & nutrition security and environmental sustainability through integrated land & water management and agricultural production.
1.4	IPRC West, and selected TVET institutions in the project’s districts, have implemented systematic approaches to better address issues related to gender and inclusiveness.
1.5	Selected staff members at RP, IPRC Karongi and selected TVET institutions in the project’s districts, show evidence they are capable to manage and sustain education and training portfolios, relevant research projects and outreach services, in line with the Education Sector Strategic Plan 2017/18-2021/22.
1.6	Strengthened linkages and collaboration [between RP, IPRC Karongi & selected TVET institutions in the project’s districts with Universities, TVET institutions and private sector companies from the Dutch consortium, and their respective networks], to allow their common education & training goals being pursued toward sustainable food & nutrition security with a nexus to water.
2.1	Students (formal) and workforce (non-formal) have access to educational programmes to obtain relevant competencies (applicable knowledge, practical skills and appropriate attitude) for sustained food & nutrition security through training offered by IPRC Karongi and selected TVET institutions in the project’s districts.
2.2	Career Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) function within IPRC Karongi and selected TVET institutions in the project’s districts are strengthened to adequately support students in career planning and realisation.
2.3	Extension services providers in the project’s districts supported in developing & providing tailored, practical and applicable services to 1) farmers; 2) cooperatives; 3) Agribusinesses/services to address their challenges in the selected value chains for sustained food & nutrition security and to 4) environmental organisations to ensure environmental sustainability of the envisaged value chain performance.
2.4	SMEs (farmers, cooperatives and agribusinesses/services) supported in viewing agriculture as a business, adopting an entrepreneurial mind-set, through which they transform from subsistence farming to more commercial farming.
