Great Lakes Accelerated Innovation Delivery Initiative Rapid Delivery Hub

The Great Lakes Accelerated Innovation Delivery Initiative Rapid Delivery Hub (AID-I GLR) is a two-year, multiple-stakeholder initiative funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). The initiative is part of the United States’ response to address the immediate and long-term effects of the global food security crisis. The goal of AID-I GLR is to contribute to improving food and nutrition security in the region through the rapid adoption at scale of proven technologies and innovation developed mainly by CGIAR and partners. It is slated to reach 1,200,000 farming households in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Rwanda. AID-I GLR identifies options for scaling partnerships with the active private sector, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations whilst structuring those partnerships to deliver rapidly proven technologies adapted to local needs to a large network of farmers with advisory services.

Target countries: Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Rwanda
