The
Partnership for Enhancing Agriculture in Rwanda through Linkages
(PEARL) is assisting the nation of Rwanda in its efforts
to rebuild from the impacts of the war and genocide of 1994.

through agricultural product development and market linkages.
PEARL, a USAID-funded project led by Michigan State University, is working with grower cooperatives on the production and marketing of specialty coffee, chili peppers and cassava products, and with with Rwandan agricultural institutions to rebuild their educational and research capacities.
