VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Youth First Rwanda 2023 – 24

Terms of Reference for the recruitment of 20  data collectors

Follow up Quantitative Research

Organization Background

Wellspring Foundation for Education is an International NGO whose vision is to be a catalyst for transforming education in Africa and to foster vibrant communities that address poverty in all its forms. Wellspring is registered as an INGO in Rwanda and as a charitable organisation in Langley BC, Canada.

The Wellspring Foundation for Education has been working in Rwanda since 2008, implementing locally-led education programs in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Rwanda Education Board and our partner districts.

Our innovative School Development Program has supported educators, leaders, and the school community members in over 150 schools in Rwanda. Wellspring is also dedicated to developing and piloting local innovations to support quality education in Rwanda – current projects include Gender Responsive Formative Assessment, and Blended Digital Learning for Teacher Professional Development. Wellspring is now leading the implementation of WorldBeing’s Youth First Rwanda program that builds resilience and mental health for young adolescents in Rwandan secondary schools across 7 districts.


Project Background

Youth First Rwanda (YFR) program is a school-based resilience intervention that targets psychosocial, physical, and educational wellbeing among Rwandan youth (ages 13-15) studying in government lower secondary schools. Developed by WorldBeing, a US-based non-governmental organization, YFR draws on scientific evidence from the positive psychology, resilience, and mental health promotion fields. YFR has been specifically customized to the cultural and language context of Rwanda. The program aims to enhance adolescents’ agency by building their planning and decision-making skills and their sense of self-determination. In collaboration with the Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB), WorldBeing piloted YFR in 2020 and officially launched the program in 50 lower secondary schools in 2021. In the 2022-23 academic year, WorldBeing began partnering with The Wellspring Foundation for Education for implementation of YFR. The intervention aims to reach 50 percent of Rwandan lower secondary schools by 2025.

YFR trains and supports schoolteachers to facilitate student resilience sessions: weekly, one-hour meetings of adolescent girls and boys in separate small groups of 15-20 students per week. The core YFR curriculum unfolds throughout one academic year, progressively building tangible skills in:

  • Character strength development
  • Social-emotional and communication skills
  • Goal-setting, problem-solving, and conflict resolution
  • Gender rights, puberty and reproductive health, hygiene, and safe water practices

YFR uses a training-of-trainers (ToT) approach and a curriculum that translates and adapts research and best practices from the fields of emotional resilience, positive psychology, social-emotional learning, conflict resolution and other fields into materials, activities, and skills tailored for young adolescents in Rwanda. Youth First and a similar program Girls First have demonstrated results in increased resilience, self-efficacy, emotional self-regulation, and increased use of practical tools to communicate, solve problems, resolve conflicts, and set and achieve goals. Evidence also suggests increasing youth aspirations and confidence toward completing their education, delaying marriage and childbirth, and reaching career and other life goals.

Teachers receive eight days of intensive training and content immersion in a hybrid remote/in-person format related to resilience, social-emotional wellbeing, problem solving, dealing with difficult emotions, goal setting, and conflict resolution, as well as skills around effective facilitation and student engagement. Additionally, teachers receive regular supportive supervision and mentoring by Master Trainers and further build skills through five monthly peer support sessions over the course of the program. Youth First programs in Kenya and India consistently yield evidence that teachers gain resilience through teaching resilience: teachers report improved psychosocial and educational attitudes and practices such as better teacher-pupil relations, improved relationships with school administrators and other teachers, improved communication and support in the home environment, and greater commitment to students and their education.


Study Background

During the 2022-23 academic year, WorldBeing and Wellspring conducted a quasi-experimental study that sought to (1) answer key questions about the impact of YFR on Rwandan youth and (2) develop an explanatory theory for any observed effects. The study included Senior 1 (S-1) students (ages 13-15) from 50 schools benefiting from YFR and S-1 students from 50 comparable schools not benefiting from YFR. Results from evaluation indicated that the program had a positive impact on short-term outcomes such as knowledge of and confidence in problem solving, managing emotions, goal setting, and facing challenges. However, the impact of the program on intermediate outcomes such as resilience, improved gender attitudes, and increased school engagement were inconclusive.

To better understand the impact of the program on intermediate outcomes and find answers to questions that remained unanswered in our previous research, WorldBeing and Wellspring will conduct a follow-up study in a total of 100 lower-secondary schools across Huye, Kayonza, and Rulindo, Bugesera, Gasabo, Musanze and Rubavu.

Monitoring and Evaluation Junior Specialist for Skills Development and Economic Transformation (SD4T) Programme at GIZ Rwanda :Deadline: 31-12-2023

0

Vacancy Announcement

Monitoring and Evaluation Junior Specialist for Skills Development and Economic Transformation (SD4T) Programme

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.


Skills Development for Economic Transformation 

Rwanda’s economic growth has been remarkable, annual growth rates averaged at eight per cent over the past two decades. Yet, unemployment (21.1 %) and underemployment (58.9 %) remain high. The majority of the population works in the agriculture sector, where incomes are low. Moreover, the number of young people entering the labour market is increasing. A large proportion of local companies are unregistered micro-enterprises which are not very competitive and cannot harness the long-term potential for growth. Most of them are only creating a handful of jobs at present. Domestic value creation, specifically in the light industrial sector is low and meets international standards only to a limited extent. At the same time, the professional skills of many job seekers do not match the requirements of the labour market.

With strategies like the National Strategy for Transformation (NST 1) and Made in Rwanda Policy, the Government of Rwanda is promoting skills development, the creation of off-farm jobs and domestic value creation. To contribute to the Rwandan Government’s strategy, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GIZ to implement the programme “Skills development for economic transformation (SD4T)” from 2023 to 2025, as part of the priority area “Sustainable Economic Development” of the Rwandan-German Development Cooperation. The programme’s main political partners are the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC).

The programme aims to create jobs and strengthen the competitiveness of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and cooperatives in the light manufacturing industry (e.g. furniture production, metal processing etc.) according to the principles of inclusivity, productivity and environmental sustainability. This will be achieved by following an integrated approach to employment promotion, consisting of 1) the promotion of technical and vocational education and training to enhance the quality of labour supply, 2) private sector development to raise labour demand, and 3) economic policy advice to improve the matching of labour supply and demand. A specific focus is placed on the economic empowerment of women.


Rationale

GIZ believes in the strengths of and operates in a dynamic environment. This makes it open to opportunities that contribute to fulfilling its mandate at a larger extent.  The project “Skills Development for Economic Transformation” (SD4T) has established a results-based monitoring system that is agile and evolves as soon as the changes occur in the scope of implementation and the corresponding needs in terms of M&E. It is in that context that SD4T is looking for a junior M&E specialist to support the program in responding effectively to the implementation requirements of its results-based monitoring M&E system.
