SAFE is a non-profit Non-Government Organization registered with Rwanda Governance Board – RGB (Reg. No: 108/RGB/NGO/2016) with expertise in designing and implementing research, policy and development projects that focus on improving the sustainable productivity of agriculture in the nexus of nutrition, environment and climate change towards achieving sustainable economic growth, with women at the center. SAFE promotes improvements in agricultural productivity by effective utilization of factors of production, market systems, and improving social capital (e.g. Producer Organizations) and human capabilities (e.g. nutrition).

Its mission is to support in practical ways peoples and their communities to live a healthy, productive and economic life by challenging systems and practices which hamper this situation to happen while protecting, conserving and restoring the natural resource base and biodiversity that future generations will live on.
SAFE is one of the few Rwandan NGOs with a strong mandate of fighting hunger and poverty in the realm of climate change by combining scientific evidence and community-based gender transformative approaches such as Gender Action Learning System (GALS), Gender Entrepreneurship Training (GET Ahead), and Gender Inclusive Financial Literacy Training (GIFT).
From 2017 SAFE has partnered with IFAD in consortium with other program partners to implement a Joint Program of Rural Women Economic Empowerment “JP-RWEE” with the aim to promote gender equality, rural women’s leadership and economic empowerment through the Gender Action Learning System (GALS),which was updated to GALS+ that integrates nutrition and climate change.
