IFPRI Rwanda IFPRI Rwanda Provide Technical Analysis for PSTA5 inputs Provide Technical Analysis for PSTA5 inputs and identify research gaps and identify research gaps 1. How can MINAGRI best allocate their budget to reach their targets? 2. How can we sustainably intensify and modernize agriculture? 3. How can the agriculture sector best contribute to reaching nutrition goals? 4. How can we strengthen the entire agri-food system (value chains, exports, etc.)? 5. How can we ensure agriculture policies are inclusive of everyone (e.g. women, youth, all agri-food system actors along the value chain)?
