Livestock sharing model lifts Rwanda’s rural households out of poverty

According to the latest mid-term review by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), PRISM—implemented between 2021 and 2026—has already reached 23,096 households in 15 districts, more than doubling its original early-stage target of 9,827 households.

Through the “Pass on the Gift” model—where farmers receive animals and later pass offspring to other households—the USD 45.6 million Partnership for Resilient and Inclusive Small Livestock Markets (PRISM) has turned livestock into a form of start-up capital for poor farmers.
