Recruitment 

• Position: Project assistant, Smart Africa Digital Academy – DTfA/ WARDIP SOP-1
• Duration: Fixed Term, renewable
• Location: Kigali, Rwanda (flexible)
• Deadline: 31 December,2023 at 5:00 PM Kigali (GMT+2) time

1. Context and Background

Africa is reshaping its narrative from one of poverty to progress, showcasing impressive economic growth, technological innovation, and a young population. Nevertheless, digital transformation faces obstacles such as limited access, insufficient investments, and a digital divide, which also offer opportunities for growth through better accessibility, efficiency, and job creation

The Smart Africa Alliance, established through the Smart Africa Manifesto, is a collaborative effort among African nations, the African Union, the Economic Commission for Africa, the African Development Bank, the World Bank, the International Telecommunications Union, the private sector, and academic and research institutions. This initiative, driven by African Heads of State and Government, aims to propel sustainable socio-economic development across the continent by leveraging Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to transition Africa into a knowledge-based economy. Originally endorsed by African leaders in 2014, the Smart Africa Manifesto has since garnered the support of 39 African countries, representing over one billion population, with the goal of placing ICT at the core of both national and continental socio-economic development efforts. This involves increasing ICT access, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and openness through ICT adoption, fostering advanced telecommunication technologies, empowering the private sector, and utilizing ICT for sustainable development.

The Alliance promotes digital transformation by building digital infrastructure, supporting entrepreneurship, fostering innovation, developing human capital, driving digitization, and advocating the development of policies and regulations that support the growth of the digital economy and digital technologies. Recognising the need for strong capacity building efforts to achieve AU’s goals for digital transformation, the Alliance established the Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA), adopted during the Smart Africa Alliance ninth Board Meeting Resolution 5, as a vehicle to implement its capacity building and skills development activities across member states, through the establishment of national digital academies.

SADA ensures that policymakers, business leaders, and the wider African population develop the digital skills and knowledge necessary to participate in the digital economy and take advantage of new opportunities. SADA recognized the importance of strong policies and regulations and the need to equip policymakers and regulators to design and implement effective digital policies and regulations. Through collaborative efforts with the World Bank and GIZ, SADA has, in its phase 1, trained over 8000 beneficiaries, out of which over 5000 are Africa’s Policy and Decision makers.  SADA has also implemented National Digital Academies across 12 African countries.

2. Digital Transformation for Africa/ Western Africa Regional Digital Integration Program (DTfA/ WARDIP) SOP-1

The DTfA/ WARDIP SOP-1 is a regional project with financing from the International Development Asociaton (IDA) covering two continental entities, AU and Smart Africa, one REC, ECOWAS and four countries, The Gambia, Guinea. Guinea-Bissau and Mauritania. The DTfA/ WARDIP SOP-1 aims to increase broadband access and usage in participating countries and to advance the integration of digital markets in Western Africa.

The project is designed around the three distinct but interconnected layers of the SDM framework. The three market layers are (i) a single connectivity market, removing barriers to regional telecom infrastructure and services deployment; (ii) a single data market, enabling the secure exchange and processing of data across borders; and (iii) a single online market, allowing the access and delivery of public and private services online and digital trade across borders.

At the continental level the project will support AU´s strategic vision of creating an SDM in Africa by 2030 through the development of appropriate policies and regulations for coordinated digital transformation in Africa. A key element will be a comprehensive training program open to policy and decision makers as well as regulators from all countries in Africa to be implemented by Smart Africa through its Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA). The training will ensure that participants are updated on digitalization and address the new policies and regulations underpinning single digital markets, with focus on agile regulation, data economy and green digital. This will also foster common knowledge, competencies, and peer-learning to design and implement digital policies and regulations.

3. The Smart Africa Digital Academy for Policy and Decision makers (SADA-CBDM) – A Subcomponent of the WARDIP-SOP 1

The subcomponent of the WARDIP-SOP1 project to be implemented by Smart Africa aims at a rapid-scaling of the Smart Africa Digital Academy (SADA) program at both regional and continental levels by leveraging on the existing SADA -CBDM implementation, AReg4DT program, and developing a replicable implementation model that caters for the specific needs and the regional context. The overall aim is to establish a new generation of policymakers and regulators across Africa, who are individually knowledgeable on how to harness the potential of green and inclusive digital transformation through new approaches to policy and regulation, and who collectively contribute to the establishment of a Single Digital Market in Africa. With this aim, the scale-up will reach 30,000 unique policymakers and decision makers from all countries in Africa, with a core group of 5,000 being trained in person towards creating a safe, inclusive and sustainable single digital market for Africa, with a participation level of females at 40%. The use of self-paced learning and train-the-trainer approaches are both aimed at further enhancing the reach of the program to propagate new knowledge and new practices across the entire ecosystem including the private sector, academia and in some cases the general public.

In line with the vision of Smart Africa, the program aims to provide foundational knowledge and competencies for the current and future digital policy makers to design, draft and implement digital policies and regulations required to promote a vibrant (i.e, competitive), safe, inclusive and sustainable (i.e., affordable and green) digital transformation that will, in turn, foster the creation of a secured Single Digital Market in Africa with focus on Agile regulation, the data economy and green digital.

SADA invites suitably qualified individuals to indicate their interest in the implementation of the SADA component of the WARDIP-SOP1, as Project Assistant.

4. Duties and Responsibilities

Vacancy Announcement 

Institutional Coordination Specialist for The Skills Development and Economic Transformation (SD4T) Programme – EU cofinanced component “Improved self-reliance and self-determination of refugees and host population in Kirehe District” 

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, the European Union and other commissioning authorities in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development, Good Governance, Climate and Energy, Digitalization, Extractive Governance and Peace and Security in the Great Lakes Region.

General Context of the Multi-Donor Action “Improved self-reliance and self-determination of refugees and host population in Kirehe District”

Rwanda has been hosting refugees for several decades. As of January 2023, Rwanda provided refuge to 126,919 individuals, with 60% originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and 40% from Burundi. Most refugees (91%), reside in five refugee camps: Mahama, Kigeme, Mugombwa, Kiziba and Nyabiheke. As of February 2023, Mahama camp hosted 58,248 refugees, making it the country’s largest. It was established in 2015 in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by thousands of Burundians fleeing violence in their country. The camp is situated in Kirehe District. The Ministry in charge of Emergency Management (MINEMA) administers the camp and is responsible for security and protection of the refugees in coordination with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The protracted refugee situation and the country’s overall economic situation put pressure on the host country Rwanda, which is exacerbated by diminishing humanitarian funds. Mahama refugee camp and its neighbouring communities in Kirehe District are particularly affected due to the size of the camp and the relocation of refugees from other camps. The Government of Rwanda (GoR) is therefore stepping up its efforts for local inclusion and graduation of refugees out of humanitarian aid. The goal is to achieve the vision laid out in the joint MINEMA-UNHCR strategy on Economic Inclusion of Refugees and Host Communities 2021-2024 to enable all refugees and members of the host community to become self-reliant by 2030. 

Objectives of the Multi-Donor Action

The Multi-Donor Action “Dutere Intambwe – Improved self-reliance and self-determination of refugees and host population in Kirehe District, Rwanda” is jointly co-financed by the European Union (EU) under the EU Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) as part of the project “Skills Development for Economic Transformation” (SD4T). The overall objective of the Action is “to contribute to provide a regional multi-sectoral response for durable solutions to the Burundian refugee crisis in five countries of the Great Lakes region”. The specific objectives (SO) of the Action are: 1) Enhanced protection of Burundian refugees (women and men in all their diversity) in Kirehe District, Rwanda and 2) Strengthened the resilience, empowerment and self-reliance of refugees (women and men in all their diversity) and communities hosting refugees.

One area of intervention will be to improve the framework conditions for the promotion of gender-sensitive economic inclusion of refugees and vulnerable population of surrounding communities both at the district and national levels. This will be achieved through enhanced coordination between the district administration, civil society partners (NGOs, CSOs etc.), and the private sector. Public-private dialogues (PPD) are one possible format to achieve this enhanced coordination. At national level, interventions will focus on facilitating intra-governmental exchange (e.g., between MINEMA, MINALOC, MINICOM, MINEDUC, MINECOFIN) to promote gender-sensitive economic inclusion of refugees and vulnerable groups. In addition, existing multi-stakeholder platforms will be used to promote inclusion of refugees and vulnerable groups.
