This report presents the approach, activities, partnerships, and results of the Rwanda Adaptation Accelerator Program (RAAP) and the AgriTech4Rwanda Innovation Challenge. Both initiatives are implemented under the Climate analytics to de-risk adaptation investments in Rwanda with support from the Gates Foundation. This report captures key lessons and outcomes from implementing two acceleration programs using a science-to-finance model that supported 43 SMEs and funded 14, collectively reaching over 2,000 farmers, supporting over 2,800 livelihoods, and attracting over USD2 million in follow on capital.
