• Monitor, evaluate and report. Partner with M&E teams to track progress against disaggregated indicators (sex, age, disability, climate vulnerability), capture lessons learned and report achievements or challenges to donors and partners, ensuring adaptive management.
• Ensure compliance and coherence. Oversee administrative and logistical processes linked to GESI-climate interventions, guaranteeing alignment with donor rules and Expertise France procedures.

3. Support the transition of target TVET schools into Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs)

• Promote inclusive and climate-resilient campuses. Provide technical inputs during design, construction and renovation so that facilities accommodate women, persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups—and incorporate climate-smart features (energy efficiency, green spaces, water management).
• Institutionalise inclusive & safe learning environments. Help schools create or refine policies and mechanisms (e.g., GBV/SEAH reporting, accessible grievance channels, disaster-risk protocols) that underpin equitable, secure and climate-prepared CoVEs.
• Build capacity at all levels. Conduct training-needs assessments and deliver capacity-building sessions enabling staff to integrate GESI principles and climate resilience into teaching, administration and daily operations.
• Facilitate peer learning. Stimulate exchanges of successful GESI-climate initiatives among TVET institutions, scaling up proven practices as schools progress towards CoVE status.

“Consolidating Unity and Resilience through Healing, Rehabilitation and Reconciliation in Rwanda”

Background and Rational

In the 31 years since the genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda has made remarkable strides in addressing the psychological, social, and economic scars left by this tragedy. A wide range of initiatives from grassroots efforts to national programs have contributed to healing across key sectors, including mental health, peacebuilding, economic recovery, and the reintegration of individuals directly involved in or affected by the genocide. These efforts have enabled Rwanda to move forward with renewed hope and a strong sense of purpose. The country’s economy has grown consistently at an annual rate of 7%, and it is now focused on achieving Middle-Income Country status by 2035 and High-Income status by 2050. Notable advancements have also been made in governance, social inclusion, gender equality, environmental sustainability, disaster management, and regional and international engagement.

Despite this progress, several interrelated challenges must still be addressed to sustain Rwanda’s development path. Mental health remains a critical concern especially for genocide survivors with studies showing that 35% of survivors and 12% of the general population meet the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (Rwanda Biomedical Centre, 2018). Additionally, research indicates that children of Genocide survivors are significantly more likely to exhibit trauma-related symptoms than their peers, highlighting the ongoing impact of intergenerational trauma. This form of trauma often intersects with broader family issues, including conflict, gender inequality, and gender-based violence.

The reintegration of former genocide perpetrators continues to pose challenges in some communities, particularly where genocide ideology, denial, hate speech, divisive narratives, and mistrust persist. Moreover, poverty remains a compounding factor, often linked with poor mental health and reduced community engagement, creating a cycle that hinders long-term resilience.

In light of these realities, there is an urgent need to reinforce Rwanda’s commitment to peace and development by further advancing social healing, inclusive civic participation, and community-level resilience.

The Ministry of National Unity and Civic Engagement (MINUBUMWE), through its Community Resilience Directorate, plays a central role in fostering resilience and healing. In partnership with Interpeace and with support from the EU, a three-year program titled “Consolidating Unity and Resilience through Healing, Rehabilitation and Reconciliation in Rwanda” The program targets under-served districts and correctional facilities and seeks to inform interventions through a strong evidence basis.

A baseline study will be conducted to provide essential data to assess the current state of community resilience and guide the design and delivery of tailored programs. For this purpose, Interpeace seeks to recruit a National Expert to provide technical leadership in survey implementation, analysis, and reporting

Objectives & Methodology
