Title: Land for Women 4 Year Review of Imboni Gikomero Cooperative
Period: November 2025 – January 2026
Project Description:
In line with the LFW model, Imboni Gikomero Cooperative has been farming their land, an asset worth RWF 78 million, with the same benefits as landowners, but LOWF retains the land title deeds in its name. By holding the land in trust, LOWF is able to support the stability and security of Imboni’s enterprise as it grows, as members of Imboni Cooperative have not previously been landowners, had bank accounts, or been able to take out loans. Following the MoU between LOWF and Imboni Cooperative, at the 5-year mark, Imboni will graduate from LFW and the title deeds will be transferred into their name, LoWF will step away as a partner, and thereafter how Imboni will use the land will be their choice.
The objectives of LFW are as follows:
-Land Ownership for Agricultural Investment and Income Generation
-Poverty Reduction
-Increased Agricultural Productivity
-Food Security
-Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment
-Environmental Conservation and Sustainable Land Use
-Promote quality training and education to build knowledge, skills, and self-reliance
The Legacy of War Foundation (LOWF) commissioned this independent 4-Year Review to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability, scalability, and replicability of the Land for Women (LFW) initiative implemented with Imboni Gikomero Cooperative between 2021 and 2025. The LFW initiative is a women-centred economic empowerment model that places secure access to productive land at the core of poverty reduction, food security, gender equality, and sustainable development. This review serves both internal learning and accountability purposes

Title: Gender Analysis for the Youth Entrepreneurship for Future of Food in Agriculture (YEFFA) program
Period: October 2024 – March 2025
Project Description:
The assignment aims to establish a clear understanding of the specific needs, interests, vulnerabilities, and capacities of young women and men, which is necessary for designing and implementing gender-responsive and gender-transformative programs. This goal underscores that pre-existing gender inequalities in the agriculture sector have increased the vulnerability of young women and men as they are exposed to many challenges, including limited participation, access to economic resources, and lack of sustainable livelihoods.
The YEFFA program will contribute to the transformation of agri-food systems and unlock millions of dignified and fulfilling work opportunities that are more resilient, sustainable, and equitable, retaining value from Africa in Africa. This implies that this study must generate new and measurable evidence to enable the program to track the extent of change at the individual, household, community, and institutional levels.
The overall objective of gender analysis is to inform the design and implementation of gender-responsive interventions under the YEFFA. Gender Analysis will cover 11 countries: Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, Mozambique, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Nigeria.
