JOB OPPORTUNITY

Knowledge sharing is a fundamental part of implementation of the agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. SDG 17 calls for enhancing “knowledge sharing on mutually agreed terms”, transcending traditional “donor-recipient” relations towards shared learning. In recognition of the importance of knowledge sharing as a means of implementation for SDGs, many countries established special offices within their governments responsible for codifying and sharing successful solutions – at central or sector level. Such offices started emerging in countries at very different levels of development.

Moreover, the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) for Transformational Governance Pillar, under Rwanda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation priority area 3 to strengthen Diplomatic and International Cooperation to accelerate Rwanda and Africa’s development, an action to put in place mechanisms to raise awareness of Rwanda’s Home-Grown Initiatives and Good Practices collectively called innovative initiatives, locally and internationally to support development was required.

As a result, Rwanda Cooperation Initiative was established in 2018 with a mission to become a global gateway for development knowledge exchange by serving as a hub for learning that promotes innovative development initiatives through national and international cooperation. Rwanda Cooperation Initiative shares Rwanda’s knowledge through different activities including Study Visits, Training, Research and Advisory services as well as Project Implementation drawing from Rwanda’s experience.

In order to fulfil its mandate, RCI is looking for skilled and competent candidates to fill the positions of Marketing and Communication Manager, Chief Internal Auditor, Training and Study Visit Officer as detailed in attached profiles.

Application guidelines:

Interested candidates should send zipped documents as follows: CV, a cover letter, a copy of degree(s) and certificate(s) and a copy of ID card or valid Rwandan Passport. The application letter should be addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of Rwanda Cooperation Initiative. While sending your application, the subject should mention the position for which the candidate is applying 1. (Marketing and Communication Manager position), 2. Chief Internal Auditor, 3. Training and Study Visit Officer.
