APEFA is a non-government Organization founded by people concerned with environment degradation, climate change, smart agriculture, and food security in Rwanda. APEFA was granted legal by Ministerial Order No. 99/11 of 31 July 2008 published in the Official Journal No. 38 of 22 September 2014.
Our strategy is to empower and facilitate communities through associations/cooperatives, in order to reduce human pressure on forests and other natural resources through livelihood improvement activities.
We handle the creation, managing, using, conserving, and repairing forests, woodlands, and associated resources for human and environmental benefits.
We focus on technologies, best practices and mine processes that are implemented as a means to reduce the environmental impacts associated.
We engage in active process of implementing and managing preferred systems of land use and production in such ways that there will be increased yields
We implement land use practices and water management practices to protect and improve the quality of the water and other natural resources within a watershed.
Every person has the right to a standard of living adequate for his or her health and wellbeing. This includes the right to food and livelihood protection.
