Project or context description

1. Context and justification of the need:

The Government of Rwanda and Agence Française de Développement (AFD) signed 5 years grant/loan agreements on 8th March 2023 to implement AFTER II Project (Appui à la Formation Technique et l'Emploi au Rwanda). AFTER II aims to improve technical and vocational education and learning conditions in order to strengthen the skills of youth in line with labor market requirements.

Project management will be provided by two contracting authorities: Rwanda Polytechnic (RP) for IPRC-related interventions, and Rwanda TV ET Board (RTB) for TVET schools-related interventions, through their respective Single Projects Implementation Unit (SPIU).

Expertise France will provide technical assistance to the project implementation. Short and long- term expertise are mobilized on the basis of a technical offer validated by AFD, with the agreement of the Rwandan party.

On RP side, the beneficiary institutions are IPRC Karongi and IPRC Kitabi located in Karongi and Nyamagabe Districts respectively. On the side of RTB, the beneficiary institutions are Muhororo and Cyanika TVET Schools located in Karongi and Nyamagabe Districts respectively.

2. Objectives of the Project:

The main objective of AFTER II project is to reinforce the employability of youth and increase the number of TVET students in Nyamagabe and Karongi districts.

AFTER II project is divided into 4 main components and 2 cross-cutting components:

▪ Component 1: The IPRC Kitabi and Karongi and TVET schools of Cyanika and Muhororo campuses are expanded, modernized and environmentally friendly

▪ Component 2: The training offer in the IPRC Kitabi and Karongi and TVET schools of Cyanika and Muhororo is strengthened and more attractive

▪ Component 3: The link between TVET providers and the private sector is strengthened, and employment and entrepreneurship support mechanisms are more efficient

▪ Component 4: The quality and leadership of RP and RTB as institutions in the TVET sector are reinforced

▪ Cross-cutting component 5: The TVET programs are more gender-responsive and inclusive and specifically address dropouts of the general education

▪ Cross-cutting component 6: Greening TVET – TVET programs provide youth with green skills and competencies for sustainable economic growth

3. Progress of the activity concerned by the ToR:

One of the program supported within the AFTER II project is Electrical technology offered at IPRC Karongi.

The process started by conducting a capacity building need assessment to the instructor of this department based on the curriculum developed by Rwanda Polytechnic.

Through this process, we have identified 9 training subjects to be offered by different experts whose profile have been identified in the ToR.

The training will focus on practical skills through Project based methodology and will be organized in different sessions based on the availability of the participants. The period will be from October 2024 to February 2028. An average of 3 training session per year will be offered.

Through these trainings, IPRC Karongi instructors will be skilled enough to deliver practical lessons to their students that will lead to the production of competent graduates based on the labor market requirement.
