PRIVATE SECTOR FEDERATION (PSF) JOB ANNOUNCEMENT
PSF DISTRICT MANAGERS (30)
I. BACKGROUND
The Private Sector Federation in Rwanda (PSF) is a professional organization, dedicated to promoting and representing the interests of the Rwandan business community. It was established in December 1999, replacing the former Rwanda Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
PSF is purely a private entity, governed by a Board of Directors elected from the business community at the grassroots level to represent and advocate for members’ interests. The Secretariat drives the operations of the Federation through coordination of five (5) clusters, 76 professional associations, 5 Provinces and 30 Districts.
In accordance with the five – years Strategic Plan (2021-2025), a restructuring was approved with an overall structure that enhances coordination between the geographical and professional representation, and this led to introduction of five clusters that replaced the ten chambers. Clusters are from the Cell to the country level.
