JOB DETAILS:
A recent mapping of existing local initiatives and actors in the areas of mental health, social cohesion, and livelihoods in Bugesera District has revealed that providing this kind of support is the most appropriate and sustainable approach to empower youth out of school; and to enable them form long-term joint initiatives that positively impact on-going reconciliation processes among themselves as well as their respective families and communities. At this phase, 90 young women and men from at least 8 Sectors of Bugesera District will be supported.

The acquisition of TVET skills is expected to lead to the following outcomes:
• Enhance trainees’ entrepreneurship and job creation opportunities;
• Enable participants to create joint business ventures (cooperatives), that respond both to the need for income generation and promoting social cohesion;
• Trainees will receive start-up kits, and continue to receive mentorship from Interpeace and its partners;
• Trainees will be facilitated to access local and national market opportunities for the products from their businesses, through partnerships with District and national public and private sector actors.
• Bonds of partnerships and friendships between the participating youth from various backgrounds, particularly from the families of the survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi as well as those from families whose members perpetrated the genocide.
• Criteria for selecting the participating youth
• Prison Fellowship Rwanda and its partners used the following criterion to select the youth who will receive TVET training:
• Between 16 and 30 years of age and have their National ID
• Is not currently enrolled in any other education institution
• Completed at least Primary Six.
• Demonstrates the spirit and actions to promote reconciliation and social cohesion, for example by being members of Unity and Reconciliation Youth Clubs in their villages or other levels; or is affiliated to other youth groups such as GAERG.
• Diversity of family backgrounds in the context of Rwandan history of the genocide against the Tutsi, for example descendants of parents living in Mbyo and Rweru Reconciliation Villages.
• They must come from families belonging to categories 1 and 2 of Ubudehe.
• To ensure inclusivity, transparency, and objectiveness of the selection process, Prison Fellowship Rwanda and Interpeace collaborated very closely with local leaders, community members in the two reconciliation villages, the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission as well as GAERG and SEVOTA in the selection/screening process.

Roles and responsibilities
As the goal is to assist youth graduating from TVET institutions to form cooperatives that enable them to develop joint business ventures, priority will be given to those trades which, by nature, create more opportunities to become successful business adventures but also higher possibility for working as a team.

• Masonry
