Employment and skill needs analysis in the agricultural sector in Rwanda

This study was conducted by the ETF upon the request of the Delegation of the European Union to Rwanda, to inform the development of a forthcoming EU action titled “Strengthened access to and quality of TVET in the agricultural sector in Rwanda”. The objective of this new EU initiative is to bolster the efforts of the Rwanda TVET Board (RTB) in enhancing the quality of TVET in the agricultural sector, with an emphasis on increasing female participation. 

A primary strategy for achieving this is the transformation of some selected TVET schools into ‘Centres of Vocational Excellence’ (CoVEs), aiming at offering superior agricultural training to young people and adults. EU support may vary from infrastructure development or provision of teaching materials, to enhancing teaching capacities to ensure high-quality training in key areas of agriculture.
