This is a midline impact evaluation report of the GCF project FP073 Strengthening climate resilience of rural communities in Northern Rwanda, commonly known as Green Gicumbi Project. The project aims to restore and enhance ecosystem services in one of the sub-catchments of the degraded Muvumba watershed, increase the capacity of communities to renew and sustainably manage resources, and support smallholders to adopt climate resilient agriculture. 

The project has been evaluated at midterm through a repeated cross section design with a random sample of households from the same villages and sectors interviewed at baseline and midline. 

The identification strategy applies two quasi-experimental methods. The report employs the difference-in-differences methodology as well as propensity score matching. The midline evaluation of project impacts enables us to gauge the project's progress towards its longer-term objectives.
