Abstract :
Girinka program (One cow per poor Family) was inspired by the Rwandan culture and initiated by His Excellency Paul Kagame, the President of the Republic of Rwanda in 2006. The program was approved as one of the Vision 2020, EDPRS and IDP implementation measures. This program aims at enabling every poor household throughout the country to own and manage an improved dairy cow which would help the family to better their livelihood through increased milk and meat production and to improve soil fertility of their land for their crops using the available manure. This initiative has improved nutrition, and helped increase the earnings of beneficiaries from milk, milk products, meat and sale of manure.
