Objet de ce projet :

De nombreux   jeunes agissent et font partie des solutions dont la Région des Grands Lacs a besoin. Ils sont activement engagés dans divers domaines qui contribuent à la paix. Cependant, ils sont confrontés à des nombreux défis qui les empêchent d’être plus percutants et de faire entendre leurs voix. Ce projet cherche à s’appuyer sur cette dynamique à travers le dialogue et les opportunités d’échanges pour les organisations de jeunes et d’autres acteurs clés. Le projet sera ainsi un carrefour entre les groupes de jeunes et les acteurs locaux, nationaux et internationaux de la politique, du secteur privé, de la société civile, des ONG, du monde universitaire et des médias.

En promouvant le rôle actif, coopératif, durable et positif des actions de la jeunesse, en créant un réseau solide entre elles et en faisant participer toutes les parties prenantes, ce projet vise à contribuer à la paix et à la stabilité dans la Région des Grands Lacs.

Pourquoi postuler à ce projet ?

Sur une durée de projet de trois ans, nous vous offrons une opportunité unique, premièrement, de renforcer les capacités internes de votre organisation dans les domaines les plus pertinents pour votre travail : communication efficace, plaidoyer, mobilisation des ressources, structuration de l’organisation, etc., à travers des ateliers de formation de haute qualité, y compris une composante de formation des formateurs. Par ailleurs, le projet propose également un système de sous-subvention et un programme de mentorat pour les meilleures idées de projet à soutenir. Deuxièmement, vous aurez la possibilité de construire un réseau avec d’autres organisations des jeunes dans votre pays et dans la région grâce à des échanges fréquents, des discussions transfrontalières et trois « Ecoles d’été » régionales. Troisièmement, nous vous offrirons l’accès à un solide réseau national et régional avec différents acteurs s afin d’encourager les échanges et d’éventuelles coopérations à l’avenir.

Qui recherchons-nous ?

Nous recherchons des groupes et des initiatives locaux, des jeunes engagés pour la paix dans la Région des Grands Lacs et qui sont actifs dans les domaines suivants : l’égalité de genre, l’environnement (y compris les ressources naturelles) et le changement climatique, la représentation politique, la démocratie et la bonne gouvernance, la terre et l’héritage, l’emploi et la stabilité économique, les médias, l’éducation, la culture et la religion et la migration forcée.

Et qui :

• Donnent aux jeunes les moyens et l’espace nécessaires pour développer leurs propres solutions aux conflits ;

Introduction

Since November 2018, Community Based Sociotherapy Rwanda (CBS Rwanda) and its partner organizations, Anglican Church, Byumba Diocese (EAR-B), and Prison Fellowship Rwanda (PFR), are implementing the “Mvura Nkuvure Project: Intergenerational healing and community reconciliation for sustainable peace”. The project is financially supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The community-based sociotherapy approach is one of the main approaches in the project, which uses the group as a therapeutic medium in the establishment of trust, the creation of an open environment for discussion, and the formation of peer-support structures. The socio-groups facilitate community members to identify, acknowledge, share, and manage together their everyday psychosocial problems related to the recent history of political violence and its aftermath.

Apart from the regular sociotherapy group sessions which form a key component of this project; providing capacity building and coaching for sociotherapy groups that have developed their own socio-economic initiatives is another main activity in the project. To achieve the objectives set under this project component, CBS Rwanda is looking for a highly motivated and experienced Business Development Specialist (BDS), who will be able to design the business development strategy and train implementing staff that will support the community groups in the growth and success of their self-initiated socio-economic activities.  The 10 days assignment, with possibility to extend, is intended to start by the 1^st of June, 2021.
