Vacancy Announcement Advisor for Private Sector Development for Skills Development for Economic Transformation in Rwanda (Eco Emploi 5)
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. GIZ has worked in Rwanda for over 30 years. The primary objectives between the Government of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany are poverty reduction and promotion of sustainable development. 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).

Skills Development for Economic Transformation 2023 - 2025
Rwanda aspires to improve standards of living for all its citizens in the Vision of 2050. The Vision will be affected through a series of seven-year National Strategies for Transformation (NST1), underpinned by detailed sectoral strategies that are aimed toward achievement of the SDGs. The NST1 came after the implementation of two, five-year Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategies—EDPRS (2008-12) and EDPRS-2 (2013-18), under which Rwanda experienced robust economic and social performances. The growth averaged 7.5% over the decade to 2018 while per capita growth domestic product (GDP) grew at 5% annually.

However, the rate of unemployment and underemployment is still prominent. With strategies like the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) 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 Programme GIZ Eco-Emploi as part of the priority area “Sustainable Economic Development” of the Rwandan-German Development Cooperation is supporting these efforts and is planning a follow-on implementation phase for the period January 2023 to December 2025
GIZ Skills Development for Economic Development incorporates a transformation approach through digitalization in production process, strengthening skilled workers and economic empowerment of women and will be implemented between January 2023 and December 2025. The Programme aims at employment-intensive growth in selected economic sectors, namely wood industry, with a special focus on women economic empowerment. Green transformation, digitalization, decent work towards youth employment and inclusion of people with disabilities are a crosscutting effort in all activities of the Programme. GIZ Eco-Emploi works towards achieving SDG 1 "No poverty", SDG 4 "High-quality education", SDG 5 "Gender equality" and SDG 8 "Decent work and economic growth".
It is with this background that GIZ would like to recruit a candidate for the position of Advisor for Private Sector Development for the Program of Skills for Economic Transformation (Eco Emploi 5).
