About the company
Rwanda Agriculture And Animal Resources Development Board, a foreign government entity, acts as a sub-recipient on agricultural biotechnology grants funded by the US Agency for International Development, with no prime federal contract or grant footprint and no participation in federal contract vehicles. RAB operates exclusively as a subawardee under grants administered by the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center (DDPSC), the prime recipient on USDA-related agricultural research initiatives.
RAB's federal work centers on confined field trials (CFTs) and regulatory support for transgenic virus-resistant cassava evaluation in Rwanda under the VIRCA Plus project. Specific sub-award responsibilities include establishing and maintaining laboratory, screenhouse, and CFT facilities at the Rubona research station in Huye District; submitting CFT applications and pursuing regulatory approval from the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) and the Rwanda Inspectorate and Consumer Protection Authority (RICA); conducting field trials and laboratory analyses of transgenic cassava varieties; performing virus diagnostic testing for Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and Cassava mosaic disease (CMD); and leading outreach and communications activities to prepare Rwandan regulators, farmers, and stakeholders for biotechnology product testing and adoption. RAB also coordinates with project partners in Uganda and Kenya to advance regional understanding of CBSD and CMD across East Africa.
RAB has received four sub-awards from DDPSC totaling $386 thousand obligated, with awards dated March 2023, October 2023, May 2024, and November 2024. All four awards fund the same VIRCA Plus initiative under the single customer agency (USAID). Activity has remained stable at two awards per year since 2023. RAB holds no contract vehicles, prime grant awards, or independent federal funding relationships; all federal dollars flow through DDPSC as the prime grantee on USAID agricultural research programs. This structure reflects RAB's role as the executing research institution in-country rather than as an independent federal contractor or grant recipient.
