Job Description

Project Description

The USAID/Rwanda Feed-the-Future Employment and Entrepreneurship (E&E) Activity will address the problem of insufficient employment opportunities and limited entrepreneurial success for Rwandans which negatively impacts the Rwandan economy and the country’s development goals.

The activity will use a market systems development approach to support agriculture and complementary market segments to add greater value to the economy and increase employment opportunities.

E&E will facilitate capacity development to Rwandans—in particular women, youth, and persons with disabilities—in key technical and soft skills required to participate in a modern workforce (focusing on opportunities surrounding the agricultural economy), and will catalyze new entry and growth of inclusive enterprises.

E&E will use facilitative, demand-driven, private-sector-led approaches to develop economic opportunities at scale.
