From 01st February 2020, the Belgian Development Agency ( Enabel ) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment  (MoE)  through Rwanda Forestry Authority (RFA), the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) and Academic Institutions including University of Rwanda (UR), University of Gent (UG) and University of Leuven (KUL) are implementing a joint  5 years (2020-2024) on Agroforestry research project  financed by the European Union , named DeSIRA..

The EU-DeSIRA program (Development –Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture and Food systems) is a new partnership initiative developed by the European Commission as part of the EU’s Development Cooperation Instruments, and it aims at:

  • Incorporating science in development work with a view to foster innovations for increased impact;
  • Building –up in country research capacities for innovation.
  • Strengthening partnerships with EU and international research entities.

The specific objective of the DeSIRA- Agroforestry research project (2020-2024) is to effectively understand and demonstrate the ecological, social and economic pathways to, and resultant benefits from the scale up of agroforestry-based restoration and sustainable biomass use, particularly focusing on the Eastern province and the peri-urban Kigali City.

The project is built around 5 expected results:

  1. Tested knowledge on scalable agroforestry systems and components from an ecological services perspective (including biodiversity, carbon sequestration, water retention, microclimate, and productivity).
  2. Tested and proven knowledge in the further development and diversification of climate resilient, high nutrition value chains from agroforestry landscapes of the Eastern province and peri-urban areas of Kigali city.
  3. Evidence based knowledge on wood biomass demands and supply potential and local expertise in high efficient, durable, affordable and user-friendly improved cooking stoves (ICS) and their supply chains is generated and strengthened.
  4. The most important socio-economic barriers to restoration and adoption of agroforestry practices are identified, tackled and new opportunities for economic incentives are implemented.
  5. Institutional capacity to create enabling conditions for agroforestry-based landscape restoration and sustainable use of biomass energy enhanced.

From the above, Enabel in close collaboration with KUL , ICRAF and UR  is responsible for implementing Result 3, Result 4 and partly Result 5 , while IUCN  in close collaboration with UGent , ICRAF and UR  is responsible for Result 1, Result 2 and partly Result 5.

The project effectiveness letter for implementation start-up was signed on 23rd December 2021.

This project is focusing on landscapes restoration for adaptation of the Eastern province of Rwanda to droughts, through sustainable forest management, dissemination of agroforestry and silvopastoral technics, restoration of protective forests, dissemination of clean cooking solutions, farmers group organization, access to microfinance and support to products value chains, etc.

  • Output 1.2.3 concerns rehabilitation of 4000 ha of private smallholder forests in the Eastern Province through the Private Forest Management Unit (PFMU) approach (regrouping in cooperative small-holder forest owner and restoring their degraded forest into productive plantation), which has been successfully piloted by the former Enabel FMBE project;
  • Output 1.5 is about the dissemination of clean cooking fuel and technology solutions is targeting about 100,000 rural households of the Eastern Province, with the setting of clean cooking rural hubs linked to subsidy/microfinance schemes, building on lessons learned from the DESIRA project currently implemented in the same area by Enabel;

GEDSI And Safeguarding Advisor

KEY INFORMATION
Job Title: GEDSI And Safeguarding Advisor
Sector: Social Protection; Governance; International Development
Position Type: Fixed term
Duration/Level of Effort: March 2023 – March 2025
Position Location: Kigali, Rwanda (Hybrid)


SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT

FCDO’s Exiting Poverty in Rwanda (EPR) Technical Assistance Facility
The FCDO has been a key partner in developing Rwanda’s social protection sector since the inception of the Vision 2020 Umurenge Programme (VUP) in 2008. The first phase of support to the social protection in Rwanda (2009-2014, £34m) focused on supporting the Government of Rwanda (GoR) to set up VUP. The second phase (2013-2018, £62.4m) focused on expanding the VUP, both in terms of geographical reach and in terms of reaching the most vulnerable and excluded in Rwanda.

The Exiting Poverty in Rwanda (EPR) Programme is the third phase of support and aims support people to exit poverty at the same time as protecting Rwanda’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens in the future. This is likely to be the last UK-funded programme supporting Rwanda’s social protection sector that involves financial resource transfer at this scale so greater focus will be on influencing the wider policy context for social protection (SP), strengthening systems and building capacity and building long-term sustainability.

FCDO’s support in this phase will go beyond the VUP programme to provide essential financial and technical assistance to support Rwanda to establish a robust, domestically financed, inclusive and comprehensive SP sector. The Technical Assistance (TA) Facility is therefore designed to support the effective implementation of its Social Protection Sector Strategic Plan (SP-SSP) and ultimately a strengthened national social protection system. To do so, the TA Facility provides technical expertise and capacity building to the Government of Rwanda, specifically the Ministry of Local Governments (MINALOC) and the Local Administrative Entities Development Agency (LODA) and supports the delivery of FCDO’s EPR programme.


The intended outcome of EPR is to enhance the resilience of vulnerable men, women and children and of the social protection system that helps sustain them. To achieve this outcome, the EPR TA facility will contribute towards the following outputs:

  • Developing institutional capacity and strengthening systems for evidence-based planning, strategic sector management, and effective SP service delivery enhanced.

  • Improving access to more effective core social protection programmes for selected vulnerable groups to more effective core social security instruments.

  • Design of a shock-responsive social protection (SR-SP) component together with operational guidelines and a system for implementing SR-SP established.

  • Strengthening linkages between SP and complementary services that enable sustainable graduation from extreme poverty strengthened.

As service provider to FCDO for the effective delivery of the EPR TA Facility, Cowater will implement the TA programme under four components as follows:

  • Design and manage a TA Facility to support implementation of the Government of Rwanda’s SP-SSP and FCDO’s EPR programme;

  • Deliver capacity building interventions through technical inputs and advice, training and workshops, mentoring and coaching of government technical personnel and undertake studies and research;

  • Drive forward the design, piloting and scale up of innovations within the Social Protection sector as set out in the SP-SSP and EPR Business Case, which includes work on graduation, shock responsive SP and categorical grants (moving towards universal coverage as per SP-SSP and Vision 2050).
