Benefiting Member States
Rwanda
This project aims to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Rwanda (GoR) and other stakeholders engaged in labour migration management to systematically manage and regulate labour migration from Rwanda to other countries in general and to the East African Community (EAC) Partner States in particular. This will be achieved through the conducting of a comprehensive assessment on labour migration policies, practices, and structures. Combined, these activities will help in identifying skills gaps within the country and building capacities for filling them.
Based on the findings and recommendations issuing from these assessments, a series of training workshops will be conducted for central and local government officials responsible for labour migration management as well as for employers’ associations, workers’ organisations, civil society organisations, and other key stakeholders. The project will also support the Ministry of Public Services and Labour (MIFOTRA) to create, maintain, and update a web portal as well as a labour migration database containing both national and international profiles of candidate migrant workers, which will be used for job-matching purposes. These components of the project will culminate in the development of a comprehensive labour migration roadmap and resource mobilization strategy for Rwanda, which will be produced with a view toward providing a blueprint for the way forward.
