Terms Of Reference
The Handwerkskammer Koblenz (CSC Koblenz) is a German Chamber for small business and craftsmen that implements the "Partner Africa"in Rwanda. The project started in December 2020 and will end in December 2023.
The aim of the project „Partner Africa“ is to train 500-1000 young Rwandans, to support them to find employment, or work self-employed and also to work directly with companies to create employment opportunities or offer upgrading trainings where needed by companies.
One result among others was to create a “start-up-unit”. This unit serves to counsel young graduates or other interested candidates on all topics relevant to entrepreneurships. That ranges from consultations of first steps to trainings on business managements.
For this reason, an agreement was done between PSF/IBI and CSC Koblenz. IBI ( Imanzi Business Institute) is operating under PSF (Private Sector Federation).

IBI (Imanzi Business Institute) has provided educational and vocational content to its learners in various forms, especially in in-person workshops. The training of trainers and educational content has recently undergone massive changes in the industry, with the Covid-19 pandemic preventing many physical trainings from occurring in-person. This has created a spark in the world of digital learning, leapfrogging online educational resources across the globe.

As part of this program of work, IBS has curated a Creating a Business Plan learning package, initially intended for in-person workshop use. This will be the first printed-screen adaptation of such content. IBI is also working on a range of leadership, and other skill building programmes.
Authoring E-learning at IBI
IBI has obtained the services of the Learning Management System ‘Masterclass’ as part of their mission to provide education for all, find potential sources of funding and compete with industry standards of online learning methodology. The online learning initiatives being created for IBI will benefit from providing a self-paced, interactive e-learning course with several modules, to engage and empower learner to create a business plan on their own accord.
Deliverables

The project targets three sectors: Mining, tea, and education.
The above-mentioned sectors are simultaneously facing enormous challenges in terms of gender imbalance, occupational safety, and low income. All three sectors are important for the Rwandan economy and reflecting the needs of local and national solutions because the social dialogue on enterprise level is often not well developed neither in the tea or mining industry.

Post Title National Consultant - To Commission a Scientific Study on Labour Conditions in the Agriculture sector / Tea section
Duty Station Kigali

Type of Contract National individual consultant or Consortium of 2 national consultants
1.Background
The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) in partnership with the Congrès du Travail et de la Fraternité au Rwanda (COTRAF-RWANDA) is implementing EU-funded 3 years project to foster social protection, social dialogue, minimum wages, and the respect of national and international labour norms in Rwanda. The project targets three sectors: Mining, tea, and education.
The above-mentioned sectors are simultaneously facing enormous challenges in terms of gender imbalance, occupational safety, and low income. All three sectors are important for the Rwandan economy and reflecting the needs of local and national solutions because the social dialogue on enterprise level is often not well developed neither in the tea or mining industry. Besides, the working conditions are often poor and minimum standards of occupational safety are lacking. Those negative factors affect in general all workers but women (especially in the areas of tea and education) and children (mining) in particular.
Basically, achieving decent work would require upholding workers ‘rights but also to improve working condition, most probably to provide a sufficiently high minimum wage.
