Responsible AI Advisor

for

The project Digital4Rwanda and MINICT

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. The GIZ Office in Kigali covers GIZ’s portfolio in Rwanda and Burundi. GIZ Rwanda/Burundi implements projects on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Union and other commissioning authorities in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development; Good Governance; Climate, Energy and Sustainable Urban Development; Digital Transformation and Digital Economy; and regional projects in the Great Lakes Region.

The Ministry of ICT and Innovation (MINICT) has prioritised positioning Rwanda as a nation where innovative solutions to great socio-economic challenges are translated to rapid economic growth, employment, efficiency and increased productivity and competitiveness. To achieve this goal, MINICT facilitates the creation, access and use of knowledge, technologies and innovations that spur socio-economic development.

Against this background, MINICT has developed a National Artificial Intelligence Policy which will help the country to harness the potential of AI while at the same time mitigating its risks. Rwanda is among the first African countries that developed such a policy, and hence officially embraced the potential of the technology.

To lead implementation, MINICT will establish and house a new coordinating office, referred to as the Responsible AI Office (RAI Office). Under the leadership of the Minister, the RAI Office will be responsible for driving the Implementation Plan, including its deployment, measurement and evaluation, and iteration and advancement. As such, the RAI Office will be tasked to support capacity building in Rwanda for AI development and adoption. It follows international examples of government offices (such as the Singapore National AI Office (NAIO) and the United Kingdom’s Office for AI.) that have been given similar tasks to implement national AI strategies through a centralized and coordinated manner.

GIZ Rwanda and MINICT are searching a candidate for the position of Responsible AI Advisor. The Responsible AI Officer will work within MINICT and will be fully integrated into the MINICT team and will be working under the overall guidance and supervision of the Director General Innovation and Emerging Technologies at MINICT.
