EOI – Determining Investment Options to Achieve Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in Rwanda – RDGE AFDB at African Development Bank: (Deadline 25 May 2022)

The consultant would gather and process data on a few selected industries/sectors in which Rwanda has comparative advantage and provide a practical blueprint for actions that are the most important. A New Structural Economics expert is therefore required who will produce this using the GIF approach. The consultant should use the following criteria to narrow down potentially competitive industries/sectors from the list of 99 sectors (using standard HS code 1-99):

• Criterion 1: Production requires low level of capital and there is a significant domestic or regional market.
• Criterion 2: Domestic production does not require significant additional power (electricity) or transport cost adjustments (i.e., no short-term need for substantial improvements in the roads and railways networks to move raw materials and output).
• Criterion 3: Production in comparator countries is done by small and medium-sized enterprises, which shows the potential for job creation in Rwanda.
• Criterion 4: Rwanda’s factor endowment is well suited for production –some elements of the supply chain are in place and the Revealed Comparative Advantage indices or Export specialization indicate potential for expansion and the labour skills requirements are either low or easily transferable.
