General context of Eco-Emploi 2020– 2022
Over the last decade, Rwanda has experienced robust economic growth. However, the rate of unemployment and underemployment is still high. With strategies like the National Strategy for Transformation (NST 1) and the Private Sector Development and Youth Employment Strategy (PSDYES), the Government of Rwanda is promoting skills development and the creation of off-farm jobs. The bilateral programme for the “Promotion of Economy and Employment (Eco-Emploi)”, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ as part of the priority area “Sustainable Economic Development” of the Rwandan-German Development Cooperation, is supporting these efforts.
Eco-Emploi incorporates an integrated approach of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Labor Market Interventions (LMI), and Private Sector Development (PSD) and is being implemented by GIZ between January 2020 and December 2022. The Programme aims at employment-intensive growth in selected economic sectors, namely the wood industry, tourism & hospitality, and film industry, with a special focus on digitalization. The economic empowerment of women, youth, and people with disabilities is a crosscutting effort in all activities of the Programme. Eco-Emploi works towards achieving SDG 1 "No poverty", SDG 4 "High-quality education", SDG 5 "Gender Equality", and SDG 6 "Decent work and economic growth”.

Ampersand
Ampersand is an energy and mobility startup headquartered in Kigali, Rwanda. It is achieving the world's First true mass-market shift to electric vehicles, a vital tipping point in the fight against climate change. Ampersand was founded on the realization that the right conditions for a mass-market shift to electric mobility at current lithium battery prices already exist in Africa. East Africa’s Boda industry, with five million drivers spending large sums on fuel, represents the best, earliest opportunity to simply offer a cheaper, more powerful alternative to petrol motorcycles.

Rationale Of The Assignment
The economic empowerment of women and people living with disabilities is a cross-cutting effort in all activities of the Programme. Eco-Emploi’s success is mainly defined by the number of jobs that are created through the Programme’s activities. Sustainable transportation can enhance economic growth and improve accessibility. Sustainable transport achieves better integration of the economy while respecting the environment, improving social equity etc.
