Focus of the Role:
Our Governance work supports the governments and leaders of fragile, developing, and emerging states to enhance their effectiveness. We are focused on helping governments and leaders make their vision for the development of their country a reality. We work in the centre of government and key line ministries and our work is shaped by national priorities.
Rwanda has been experiencing rapid economic development over the past fifteen years. However, competitiveness and further growth are constrained by lack of a skilled labor force, and the demand for education and skills has outpaced the supply of skills in recent years. Building skills to advance the country’s economic agenda is a priority for the government in its ambition to transform the country to a middle-income level. A productive workforce equipped with relevant skills is considered an essential ingredient for the success of a private sector led inclusive growth model.
The Capacity Development & Employment Unit (CD&E) is responsible for the implementation of the National Employment Program (NEP) that is the government’s main strategy for improving the employability of the country’s population. The unit has been recently moved to the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), the government’s main investor outreach and business interface agency. As part of the RDB, CD&E is better positioned to ensure that the skills development it coordinates is better aligned with identified needs within the private sector.
The Advisor will be based in RDB’s CD&E, working closely with the Head of Capacity Development and Employment.
The Advisor will provide assistance to RDB to enhance cross-ministerial collaboration and accountability for strategic planning in skills development and to improve the implementation of action plans to build skills for growth through the following tasks:
The Advisor is expected to contribute significantly to the following CD&E outputs:
