Coactors for Development and Rural Behavior Change
Hope & Healing Africa works in close partnership with CODERBC (Coactors for Development and Rural Behavior Change) to connect healing programs with sustainable community enterprises.
Between 2010 and 2016, CODERBC (Coactors for Development and Rural Behavior Change) partnered with government institutions in Rwanda to combat HIV/AIDS and drug addiction. Operating as a non-profit actor, CODERBC built trust with communities and public institutions, delivering impactful health interventions that strengthened resilience and social cohesion.
Building on lessons from its non-profit health work, CODERBC has transitioned into community development initiatives designed to generate sustainable incomes. Since 2020, and looking toward 2026, CODERBC has focused on agribusiness, cooperative strengthening, and rural enterprise development — shifting from purely social interventions to community development for profit incomes, ensuring long-term sustainability and empowerment.
Kiburara Community Coffee is the flagship project under this new framework. By formalizing land use, organizing farmers, and building shared infrastructure, CODERBC leverages its credibility from past health interventions to deliver a scalable, investment-ready agribusiness model — transforming community resilience into competitive, income-generating enterprises.
