Unemployment and (particularly) underemployment are among the greatest challenges facing Rwanda. Nationally, the unemployment rate in 2021 averaged 21.1% (24.1% for women, compared with 18.5% for men). Key conditions are missing to date for leveraging growth in light manufacturing for sustainable economic transformation which not only creates higher-quality, gender-inclusive employment but is also competitive. Besides access to financing for micro, small and mediumsized
enterprises (MSMEs), there is a shortage of skilled workers and technical and entrepreneurial knowledge for developing business models with long-term viability.
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GIZ to implement the project “Skills development for Economic Transformation (SD4T)” as part of the priority area “Sustainable Economic Development” of the Rwandan-German Development Cooperation from 01/2023 to 12/2025. The project aims to create jobs and strengthen the competitiveness of MSMEs and cooperatives in the light manufacturing industry (e.g. furniture production, metal processing etc.) according to the principles of inclusivity, productivity and environmental sustainability.
