Background
The objective of the three-year (2010-2013) Program
is to strengthen the Joint Action Development Forum (JADF) mechanism in all the
30 districts of Rwanda. The JADF mechanism was put in place to achieve full
participation in the local development process by all citizens through their
representatives from the public, civil and private sectors. It is a platform
where all stakeholders at District and Sector levels are welcome and are
stimulated to participate in the planning, implementing and monitoring of
developmental activities at those levels. The Government’s Action Plan
(2010-2017) describes JADF as an instrument for good governance, and a
mechanism to strengthen partnership between the Public, Private, and Civil
Society. The implementation of this project is coordinated by RGB in close
collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC). It is against
this background that RGB wishes to recruit two employees namely : A
Project Coordinator and Monitoring & Evaluation Expert.
