Single Project Implementation Unit (SPIU)
The Government of Rwanda designed a five-year (2014-2019) National Employment Program (NEP) to serve the following objectives: (a) creating sufficient jobs that are adequately remunerative and sustainable across the economy, (b) equipping the workforce with vital skills and attitude for increased productivity that are needed for the growth of the private sector, and (c) provide a national framework for coordinating all employment and related initiatives and activities in the public, private sector and civil society.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT FUND (SDF)
The Priority Skills for Growth program (PSG) has been initiated through a partnership agreement between World Bank and government of Rwanda to support the implementation of NEP through a Program for Results (PforR) financing model.
The major components of PSG include Skills Development Fund II which supports short-term training under Pillar 1 of the NEP including, employer-led short-term vocational training responding to specific skills requirements, provision of labor market relevant skills for out-of-school youth, and internships and apprenticeships for TVET students or graduates.
The remaining part of SDF II shall be implemented by RTB through the existing NEP structures and guidelines and shall expand training opportunities for the acquisition of quality, market-relevant skills with more focus in selected economic sectors.
