Youth employment, Skills, Education

The potential of the young people is key for the growth of our nation. It starts when children are still in uterus and goes through the whole education journey. Starting in 2008 as a volunteer, I have remained loyal to the education and skills development sector.

I worked for various NGOs in Rwanda, Lisbon and Germany trying to implement inclusive and equitable interventions to allow young people to reach their potential.

I hold a micro-masters in Education Innovation for Improvement from the University of Michigan and have pursued several certifications

Below a selection of examples of past work on youth employment, skills and education, that I have successfully delivered:

Research evidence for employment : Conceptualized and initiated a partnership between RDB and Innovation for Poverty Action (IPA) to conduct a work-readiness camp for young graduates and assess its impact on employability;
Project development : In my role as advisor in the Rwanda Development Board supported strategy for talent pipeline development and mobilized resources through development partners for implementation of related projects
