Chemonics
Kigali, Rwanda
Expiration Date: February 15, 2023
Capacity Building Director | Kigali, Rwanda | 2023
Chemonics seeks a Capacity Building Director for USAID’s anticipated Teaching and Learning Materials Market Systems Development Activity in Rwanda. This three-year, $6 million cooperative agreement uses a market systems development approach to bring together stakeholders, identify points of leverage, and optimize the market’s functionality to strengthen the book supply chain in Rwanda and address the “business side of literacy”. To become literate, children and families need access to reading materials; yet there is limited availability and irregular supply of reading materials in Rwandan schools and communities.
This Activity builds upon evidence and experience from USAID, the Global Book Alliance in Action (GBAIA), and the World Bank’s Results in Education for All Children (REACH) Trust Fund projects at the country level. By addressing inefficiencies, leveraging opportunities along the book supply chain and within the entire market system , and engaging stakeholders in government, the private sector, 1 2 and communities, this TLM Market System Development Activity will strengthen the market system for teaching and learning materials and increase the quantity, quality, affordability, and accessibility of books and other reading materials (physical and digital) in schools, homes, and communities, contributing to improved reading outcomes.
The Capacity Building Director reports directly to the chief of party and will provide technical leadership on capacity building and training with government and private sector stakeholders. This position will be based in Rwanda.
