JOB VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Project Manager (f/m)

This selection will serve also to constitute a pool/reserve

Enabel is the Belgian development agency. It implements Belgium’s governmental cooperation. The agency also works for other national and international donors. With its partners in Belgium and abroad, Enabel offers solutions to address pressing global challenges – Climate Change, Urbanisation, Human Mobility, Peace and Security, Economic and Social Inequality – and to promote Global Citizenship. With 2,100 staff, Enabel manages about 200 projects in twenty countries, in Belgium, Africa and the Middle East.

We have over 20 years’ experience in areas ranging from education and health care to agriculture, environmental protection, digitalisation, employment and governance. Enabel’s expertise is eagerly sought-after by partners around the globe – ranging from the Belgian government, European Union institutions, governments of other countries and the private sector. We work with civil society, research institutes as well as businesses and we foster fruitful interaction between development policy and other areas.

Enabel is currently implementing a five-year bilateral cooperation program (2024 – 2029), with a total budget of 95 million euros, in three priority development sectors in Rwanda: health, agriculture, urbanization and support in public financial management. Enabel is also implementing many other projects funded by thirst parties (European Union and European development Actors).

The health component of this portfolio will be implemented as one programme with a total budget of 42 million euro. Taking informed decision-making as a key principle – since it’s a key-principle for the Ministry of Health (MoH) – three broad results are identified that link up with the national health policy and strategies:

  • Result 1: Informed decision making through Result Based Financing
  • Result 2: a coordinated system of getting evidence-based health research into policy and practice is in place. 
  • Result 3: the supply chain and quality control of medicines and vaccines by Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority (RFDA) has improved.

Active participation in policy dialogue will be an important component of the portfolio implementation.

Within the Result 2, the Strengthening of African National Public Health Institutes action funded through the European Union is complementary to Getting Results into Policy and Practice (GRIPP) component. The GRIPP will focus on eight Districts, four within the Enabel Results based Financing (RBF) component of the Enabel Health Portfolio and four Districts under the RBF through Agence Française Development (AFD).

To ensure business continuity, Enabel is currently looking for a Project Manager (f/m).
