Post title Recruitment of a-lead trainer for Youth Academy on Social Protection to Promote Decent Work Principles Among Young Professionals
Duty station Kigali Rwanda
Duration 18 days (12 days of training, 6 days of preparation)
Reports to FES RWANDA & COTRAF RWANDA
Type of Contract Short term expert
Background
The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) in partnership with the Congrès du Travail et de la Fraternité (COTRAF) is implementing EU-funded 3 years project to foster social protection, social dialogue, minimum wages, and the respect of national and international labour norms in Rwanda. The project will target three sectors: Mining, tea, and education. These sectors are simultaneously facing enormous challenges in terms of gender imbalance, occupational safety, and low income. All three sectors are important for the Rwandan economy and reflecting the needs of local and national solutions because the social dialogue on enterprise level is often not well developed neither in the tea nor mining industry. The working conditions are often poor and minimum standards of occupational safety are lacking. Those negative factors affect in general all workers but women (especially in the areas of tea and education) and children (mining) in particular.

Today’s youth will be tomorrow's decision-makers and actors. If fundamental and structural changes should occur, it must be ensured that, those who will take responsibility in the future are prepared, trained and capable. Therefore, young professionals as "Actors of Tomorrow" should be empowered with knowledge and skills about decent work and social protection to support them to develop their own contributions to the decent work, to debate on the current Rwandan Labour Code and on the special provisions for the effective protection of TU representatives in companies.
From the above background, a training has been developed to guide the implementation of the overall youth academy program. However, there is still a need of a professional trainer who will lead and deliver various trainings with respect to the training manual. It is from that perspective that COTRAF and FES want to recruit a trainer who will oversee and lead training program.
