About Empower Rwanda

Empower Rwanda is a women-led nongovernmental organization that was established in Rwanda in 2019 to support women and youth through providing skills, knowledge, and resources that create sustainable change for them, their families, and their communities. Empower Rwanda provides a broad array of vital support to vulnerable youth and women in Rwanda.

The Programme

Empower Rwanda, in partnership with Mercy Corps, is implementing the Financial Inclusion for Clean Cooking Access in Rwanda and Sierra Leone (FICCARS) programme. The programme seeks to address the challenge of access to finance and clean cooking among women living in cities, particularly in urban informal settlements and slums in these two countries. The programme’s objectives are:

• To use access to financing for modern energy cooking technologies and fuels as a conduit for women to climb the financial inclusion ladder and access formal financing for household and business needs.
• To help local governments and other national-level stakeholders identify approaches to mainstream gender inclusion in access to finance and modern cooking as well as on environmental conservation and livelihoods.
• To lay the foundation for growth of a sustainable market by supporting the private sector to secure a foothold in the markets of Sierra Leone and Rwanda with their financial inclusion and clean cooking products.
  
  
  

The Position

This is a full-time position, based in Kigali, to manage the FICCARS programme and ensure quality delivery of project deliverables. The Project Manager (PM) is primarily responsible for planning and delivery of programme activities, and monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL). The PM will also provide technical expertise on delivering financial inclusion solutions for clean cooking access, and lead sector engagement in the fields of financial inclusion and clean cooking.

Essential Responsibilities

PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT

• Directly manage and quality check delivery of activities and outputs of the programme.
• Lead budgeting and resource planning for the programme, ensuring adherence to Empower Rwanda policies and standards, as well as donor requirements.

Strong relationship building, critical thinking and proactive problem-solving skills are crucial to fulfill this role.

In collaboration with the Regional Inclusive Education Technical Specialist of HI East African Regional Program (EAR), the IE-STO guarantees and contributes to the Zero-OOSC project implementation at national and field levels.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE POST

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE HI RWANDA PROGRAMME

Federation Handicap International, operating under the name of “Humanity & Inclusion” (HI) is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization, which intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and commits itself to meet their basic needs, to improve their living conditions and to promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights

HI started operating in Rwanda after the aftermath of the genocide perpetrated against Tutsi in July 1994. From 1994 to 1996, HI worked alongside many other NGOs to provide emergency assistance to a population plunged in extreme distress, misery and poverty. From 1996 to 2000, the country experienced a period of relative social, political and administrative stability, during which HI engaged in long-term activities and aimed at improving the living conditions of vulnerable people, particularly those with mental health problems, HIV / AIDS, by providing them with appropriate support. Since 2001, HI has been contributing to the development of the country, expanding its activities and developing projects to prevent violence through a community-based approach, promoting education for all, community-based rehabilitation, training of occupational therapists, fighting against gender-based violence, protecting children from abuse and violence – especially children with disabilities, promoting inclusive nutrition, ECD and nurturing care. In addition to these areas, HI also wishes to join other partners in the field of bringing back out of school children to schools with special focus on those with disabilities.
