Junior Advisor Career Guidance and TVET for The 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.

General Context of the Skills Development and Economic Transformation (SD4T) Programme  

Rwanda’s economic growth has been remarkable over the years with annual growth rates averaged at 8% over the past two decades. While unemployment (21.1 %) and underemployment (58.9 %) remain high, majority of the population works in the agriculture sector where incomes are low. Furthermore, the number of young people entering the labour market is increasing yet 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 these companies are only creating a handful of jobs currently and domestic value creation specifically in the light manufacturing 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. However, with strategies like the National Strategy for Transformation (NST 1) and the Made in Rwanda Strategy, 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 project “Skills Development for Economic Transformation (SD4T)” in Rwanda from 2023 to 2025, as part of the priority area “Sustainable Economic Development” of the Rwandan-German Development Cooperation. The project’s main political partners are the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC). The project 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. It is important to note that the programme is still supporting with the implementation and handover of the tourism sector activities that were previously implemented in collaboration with the chamber of tourism and RDB.

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 with specific focus on the economic empowerment of women through all its interventions.

MSMEs and Cooperatives Specialist

for The 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.

General Context of Skills Development and Economic Transformation (SD4T) Programme 

Rwanda’s economic growth has been remarkable over the years with annual growth rates averaged at 8% over the past two decades. While unemployment (21.1 %) and underemployment (58.9 %) remain high, majority of the population works in the agriculture sector where incomes are low. Furthermore, the number of young people entering the labour market is increasing yet 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 these companies are only creating a handful of jobs currently and domestic value creation specifically in the light manufacturing 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. However, with strategies like the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) and the Made in Rwanda Strategy, 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 Skills Development and Economic Transformation (SD4T) Programme;

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GIZ to implement the project “Skills development for Economic Transformation (SD4T)” in Rwanda from 2023 to 2025, as part of the priority area “Sustainable Economic Development” of the Rwandan-German Development Cooperation. The project’s main political partners are the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC). The project 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 with specific focus on the economic empowerment of women through all its interventions.
