Its vision is to create “high-quality African education and training geared towards the promotion of critical skills for accelerated and sustainable development in Africa”. ADEA’s mission, therefore, is to “serve as an open and flexible pan-African organization that informs and facilitates the transformation of education and training to drive Africa’s accelerated and sustainable development.” It acts as a catalyst in promoting innovative policies and practices through the pooling of ideas, experiences, learning, and knowledge. ADEA’s overall goal is to empower African countries to develop education and training systems that respond to their emergent needs and drive Africa’s social and economic transformation sustainably.

Organizational Setting

Rwanda has experienced strong economic growth since the mid-1990s, which has not only tripled its GDP per capita but has also made it one of the fast-growing economies on the continent. Despite this remarkable economic growth, the national poverty line still remains high in the country (55 per cent), according to the World Bank. Despite setbacks, including impact of the COVID-19, and disruptions of cross-border trade, Rwanda strives to achieve Middle Income Country (MIC) status (meaning annual $USD 4,000 per capita income) by 2035 and High-Income Country (HIC) status (meaning annual $USD 12,000 per capita income) by 2050. The channel to achieve this will be through a series of seven-year National Strategies for Transformation (NSTs), supported by sectoral strategies that are aimed toward achievement of the SDGs.

To implement the NST1 aspirations, the agriculture sector, which is the mainstay of economy, has developed its fourth edition of the Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation (PSTA4) with four priority areas: (i) Innovation and Extension; (ii) Productivity and Resilience; (iii) Inclusive markets and Value Addition; and (iv) Enabling Environment and Responsible Institutions. The FAO’s Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2019-2023 is also aligned to and is aimed at contributing to the Government of Rwanda’s (GoR) priorities in food security, nutrition and rural development, as enshrined in the PSTA4 (2018-2024) and with the NST1 (2017-2024).

The FAO country office in Rwanda is headed by FAO Representative. The office assists the GoR to develop strategies, policies, programmes and projects to achieve food security, reduce hunger and malnutrition; the country office also helps MINAGRIG to develop the agricultural, fisheries and forestry sectors and to use their environmental and natural resources in a sustainable manner. Moreover, the country office supports cross-sectoral policy dialogue as well as the implementation of interventions for improving the food security and nutrition including resilience programs for the wellbeing of vulnerable and crisis-affected households in the country (inclusive of refugees). The country office is also an integral part of the UN wide country team (UNCT) which delivers as One; The country Office’s program and technical support defined in the CPF which is the FAO country strategy for the next 5 years is fully aligned with the existing frameworks like the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDF) guided by the Rwanda’s Country Common Analysis (CCA).

The Hand-in-Hand Initiative (HiHI) is a flagship initiative of the FAO Director-General to bring together major partners to support accelerated, scaled-up action to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Initiative targets the poorest – the poorest people in the poorest countries and in countries with large poor populations, as well as countries in food crisis. Its specific focus is to work with FAO Member Nations to provide data and analysis to identify inclusive and sustainable agri-food systems to eradicate poverty and malnutrition, and reduce inequality within and among nations. Hand-in-Hand partners agree to support a science- and evidence-based programme of actions, partnerships and investment to unlock local and international market opportunities for inclusive and sustainable growth.

The Hand-in-Hand Initiative (HiHI) in Rwanda is aimed at reinforcing the GOR’s agri-food systems transformation efforts. In support to implementation of the Hand-in-Hand initiative in the country, FAO Rwanda will engage the services of a National Consultant/Advisor for a period of 120 days
