A livelihood support programme called ‘Enhancing the Productive Capacity of Extremely Poor People’ has been implemented in southern Rwanda since 2011by Concern Worldwide-Rwanda, with financial support from Irish Aid. In this report, research around the three areas of coaching, relationships and empowerment is presented, with one substantive chapter of findings devoted to each topic. Before presenting the findings, Chapter 2 summarises the methodology that was designed and implemented to conduct the fieldwork in Rwanda. In terms of coaching, Chapter 3 discusses the personal qualities, workload, responsibilities and performance of Community Development Animators (CDAs). Chapter 4 considers how participation in the programme affected relationships with family members and neighbours in the community, as well as the effects of training provided on conflict management and ‘Men Engage’. Chapter 5 explores four dimensions of empowerment –personal, economic, social and political –as well as perceptions of empowerment by participants and CDAs. Chapter 6 concludes by identifying three related areas where the effectiveness and sustainability of the programme could be enhanced.
