JOB DETAILS:
SNV’s mission is to support people to pursue their own sustainable development, where we leave no one behind. To do so sustainably, we need to address systemic issues that trap people into poverty and marginalization.

Job Description
Overview of programme
Due to its extremely high population density, Rwanda is one of the countries most vulnerable to deforestation. The high dependency on solid biomass for cooking, used in inefficient cooking devices, generates high emissions effecting the climate and the users health. Through a new project focused on clean cooking in Rwanda, SNV aims to the address these challenges by setting up a sustainable production and dissemination chain for improved cookstoves (ICS) as well as for improved or alternative fuel through a threefold approach: helping to increase production capacities, consumer awareness and dissemination density. The project will support a wide range of ICS (according to nationally determined priorities, quality and performance guidelines), giving the choice for people to adopt the technology most appropriate to their needs and means. Aimed at building a thriving viable and sustainable market benefiting local entrepreneurship, the project seeks to avoid market distortion by refraining from paying direct subsidies on the sales prices, and will rather build on incentives strengthening the value chain e.g. through results-based incentives and access to finance with existing microfinance institutions (MFIs). Producers of both ICS and biomass fuels will be enabled to grow and professionalize their businesses, e.g. transitioning to semi-industrial production with higher output and improved quality, eventually better serving the Rwandan market. It will also be aligned with the global (SDG’s), European and national goals.
The project will contribute to raise nationwide production of ICS to 200,000 per year with cumulative 500,000 ICS sold to households, productive-use-units (restaurants, tea factories etc.) and social institutions over the five-year implementation period. All over the dissemination chain, at least 200 jobs will be created in the production and sales of ICS. The fuels and cookstoves private sector while engaging the Rwandan government by supporting an enabling environment. SNV’s role in the project will be to lead the improved cookstoves component with technical expertise and impactful on the ground presence working with local capacity builders (LCB’s) to ensure implementation quality.
