Background
In the 27 years since the genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda has made strident efforts towards recovery and healing, across various dimensions of social and economic life. This has been characterized by cross-sectoral and locally owned innovations in diverse fields of practice, such as mental health, social cohesion, and sustainability of livelihoods. With the funding from European Union, Interpeace Rwanda is seeking to support the implementation of Rwanda Government’s mental health strategy (2020-2024), Through the ‘’Reinforcing community capacity for social cohesion and reconciliation through societal trauma healing in Bugesera District’’ Programme, Interpeace supported the training of young women and men in Bugesera District to acquire TVET skills in the trades of their choice. This Programme is implemented in partnership with Prison Fellowship Rwanda (PFR), the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (NURC), Bugesera District, Rwanda Correctional Service (RCS) and the Ministry of Health through Rwanda Bio-medical Center (RBC).
The acquisition of these skills as well as eventual start-up kits to these youth to form cooperatives and start income generating activities is in line with promoting “Reconciliation in Action”, growth-driven, forward-looking socio-economic initiatives aimed at strengthening the link between psychosocial wellbeing, reconciliation, and economic development. The successful bidder will be required to deliver the Youth TVET and RCS Equipment and Materials to these groups in Bugesera District in good condition.
