    Om programmet

    Farming and Agriculture support aims at addressing issues related to improving soil fertility while conserving the nature. Rwanda is one of the countries with the highest density whereby agriculture constitutes over 90%. Both agriculture and settlements have contributed to huge loss of soil and land scarcity. The programme is designed to give passionate, graduated and professionals in farming, soil management, crop management, erosion control, seeds management, climate change and any other related field, opportunities to engage locals in mitigation and adaptation strategies 

    Volunteer for this programme will be working with local beneficiaries and Partners For Conservation field staff including (Project Manager, and Technicians) and other stakeholders including conservation and development agencies as well as the local authorities. In order to provide volunteers with many opportunities to learn and contribute to community conservation efforts in Rwanda, volunteers are elected to join the team that represents Partners For Conservation in functions, meetings and other conservation gathering.Partners For Conservation expects a pro-active volunteer ready to use the personal curiosity to learn and passion to move forward this programme.

    About the location

    The volunteer will be based and operate in Musanze district. Musanze is a district in the Northern Province of Rwanda. Its capital city is Ruhengeri which; is also sometimes known as Musanze. Musanze is Rwanda's most mountainous district, containing the largest part of the Volcanoes National Park and its head office at Kinigi. Five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga chain (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Sabyinyo, Gahinga and Muhabura) are within the district boundaries. It is also in this district that most of Rwanda's mountain gorillas are found, making it the most popular tourist destination in the country. Musanze's capital, Ruhengeri, is one of the largest cities in Rwanda and serves as a hub for tourists.

    It is easy for a volunteer to access the rest corners of the country from Musanze for example Musanze is at 1h drive from Gisenyi and the Democratic Republic of Congo border. Gisenyi is known for its super weekends for water sports lovers. Musanze is also at 2h30 drive from Kigali and at 25 minutes to the Cyanika, the Uganda border.

    A day as a volunteer varies on a daily basis. The day starts with a breakfast served from 7:00am. The field/office work start at 8:30am and ends at 4:30pm. Likewise the rest of the staff, a volunteer at Partners For Conservation has a 1h30 break for lunch.

    Partners For Conservation allows volunteers to freely plan their daily activities to ensure they are happy with what they’re doing and helping to address the local identified issue.

     Partners For Conservation supports volunteer’s intervention by providing a comprehensive team involving among others a driver (where necessary), a local interpreter and senior officer/ project manager.  This is key to ensure there’s excellent communication on and off the field for a successful intervention and teamwork.

    Besides farming related activities, volunteers may also contribute to promotion, marketing and advertisement and events management, surveys and researches ( recommended or individuals), grants/proposals writing and fundraising and public relation through interacting with various stakeholders or representing the organisation in meetings, conference and events such as the Gorilla Naming Ceremony
