Technical on employment in Rwanda

This project aims at more and better jobs for young men and women. The ILO will support the revision of the National Employment Policy, aligning existing policies and programmes in order to achieve employment targets set under the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (2013-2018) and National Employment Programme (NEP) in close partnership with other stakeholders. Through training on skills gaps and income-generating opportunities in selected trades, young people will acquire skills for employment and livelihoods under the NEP. The labour market information system will take into account new international statistical standards and regularly capture reforms in labour statistics. ILO’s entrepreneurship development and delivery tools will be integrated into local structures to enhance business support services for potential and existing entrepreneurs, including women and young people. Key officials of district business development services will be trained as trainers and certified in Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) and post- entrepreneurship training services delivery. National and local employment interventions will be coordinated in a comprehensive manner and informed policy and decision making will be enhanced through data generation, studies, trainings and employment services.
