Abstract

Smallholder farming systems in Rwanda face significant challenges related to energy access and sustainability. A Bayesian hierarchical model was developed to analyse data from smallholder farms, incorporating uncertainty through robust standard errors. The model revealed that the proportion of farms achieving improved energy efficiency was 45%. The Bayesian hierarchical model successfully identified key factors influencing energy use in smallholder systems and provided insights for policy interventions. Implementing targeted energy-saving technologies and policies could enhance productivity and sustainability among smallholder farmers.
