360 is currently recruiting for the position of Policy Reform Advisor
for an anticipated USAID/Rwanda off-farm employment opportunities program
(Nguriza Nshore). The purpose of Nguriza Nshore is to facilitate the emergence
of a dynamic off-farm sector that can generate greater employment at a higher
wage for the broad majority of Rwandans who are currently engaged in
subsistence agriculture and other marginal economic activities. By alleviating
constraints to entrepreneurship and increasing access to financing, off-farm
businesses will be created and will grow to provide productive employment for
rural populations and reduce poverty.
