INTERVENTION MANAGER FOR AGROFORESTRY AND BIOMASS ENERGY PROJECTS (M/F)

Enabel is the Belgian development agency. It implements Belgium’s governmental cooperation. The agency also works for other national and international donors. With its partners in Belgium and abroad, Enabel offers solutions to address pressing global challenges – Agriculture development and Food Security, Climate Change, Urbanisation, Human Mobility, Peace and Security, Economic and Social Inequality – and to promote Global Citizenship. With 2,000 staff, Enabel manages about 170 projects in twenty countries, in Belgium, Africa and the Middle East.

Its staff members in Brussels and overseas embody the commitment of the Belgian State and other development partners to international solidarity.

Currently there are three projects that Enabel is implementing in the Agro forestry within Rwanda’s Development Sector of Climate, Environment and Natural Resources Management:

(1)  DeSIRA – Agroforestry research project (2020- 2024)

From 01^st 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.   

(2)  TREPA project ( 2021-2027)

In July 2021 the Board of Green Climate Fund (GCF) approved a 6 years TREPA project (“Transforming Eastern Province through Adaptation”), a multi-stakeholder project financed through the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as an Accredited Entity which signed a Master Agreement with the GCF on behalf of other parties, including the Ministry of Environment, Rwanda Forestry Authority, Enabel, ICRAF, World Vision and CORDAID.

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

Enabel is one of the 3 executing entities (which are Enabel, IUCN and Rwanda Forestry Authority RFA) and will be in charge of the output 1.2.3, 1.5 and partly 3.4 (Agroforestry and cooking solutions knowledge generation through DeSIRA project as co-finance to TREPA):

• 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;

In addition, Enabel provides support to the RFA for the implementation of the outputs 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 on the review and implementation of District Forest Management Plans (DFMPs) by using the FMES database software developed recently with the support of Enabel.

For more details on TREPA project, please refer to the project proposal available at https://www.greenclimate.fund/project/fp167 ).

JOB VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

GENDER TECHNICAL EXPERT (M/F)

Enabel is the Belgian development agency. It implements Belgium’s governmental cooperation. The agency also works for other national and international donors. With its partners in Belgium and abroad, Enabel offers solutions to address pressing global challenges – Agriculture development and Food Security, Climate Change, Urbanisation, Human Mobility, Peace and Security, Economic and Social Inequality – and to promote Global Citizenship. With 2,000 staff, Enabel manages about 170 projects in twenty countries, in Belgium, Africa and the Middle East.

Its staff members in Brussels and overseas embody the commitment of the Belgian State and other development partners to international solidarity.
