Abstract

The Rwanda Climate Services for Agriculture project is a four-year initiative (2016-2019) that
seeks to transform Rwanda’s rural farming communities and national economy through
improved climate risk management. This report presents the outputs of a five-day training
workshop in Muhanga, Rwanda on the use of the Participatory Integrated Climate Services for
Agriculture (PICSA) approach to help farmers make climate informed decisions. This training
brought together farmer promoters, Social Economic Development Officers (SEDOs), as well
as Sector Agronomists from the four pilot districts in Rwanda. The training workshop aimed to
initiate the process of PICSA implementation starting by training lead farmers who will train
farmers in the use of the PICSA approach. The report includes the process of the training
workshop, presentations, and the evaluation by participants.
