The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations.

To achieve these objectives, GIZ Rwanda is active in the sectors of Decentralization and Good Governance, Economic Development and Employment Promotion, Energy and ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

The module “Skills for Economic Transformation in Rwanda” (SD4T) is the fifth phase of the Programme “Promotion of the Economy and Employment” (Eco Emploi). The module builds on the achievements of the previous phases and continues to follow the integrated approach for job creation. The Programme follows a holistic value chains approach. The selected focus value chains are wood and complementary trades (like metal, glass and other crafts products).

The project component Institutional Development and Women Economic Empowerment is one element of the new organizational structure of the Programme. The component will contribute considerably to the achievement of output indicators 1 (Key sectoral institutions are better able to guide the design of job-creating growth in light manufacturing) and 4 (Women have access to services to improve their economic participation). The achievement of the component’s activities requires a continuous and close cooperation with selected stakeholders and political partners like MINICOM, RDB and others. The component furthermore works closely together with the other two components of the Programme as well as with the field offices in Musanze and Huye.

It is with this background that Skills for Economic Transformation Rwanda is searching for one candidate for the position of Labour Market Interventions (LMI) Junior Advisor who will report to the Head of Component.
