A. Background

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. The GIZ Office in Kigali covers GIZ’s portfolio in Rwanda and Burundi. GIZ Rwanda/Burundi implements projects on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the European Union and other commissioning authorities in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development; Good Governance; Climate, Energy and Sustainable Urban Development; Digital Transformation and Digital Economy; and regional projects in the Great Lakes Region.

Rwanda is positioning itself as a regional leader in sustainable mobility, with government policy actively driving a shift away from fossil-fuel vehicles. The country's technical and vocational training system must address the new areas to provide skills for local technicians to maintain EVs: EV technology, battery diagnostics, or high-voltage safety - technical careers on emerging green jobs. Targeted vocational training would close the EV skills gap, improve employment prospects for Rwandan graduates, and create the technical foundation for Rwanda's e-mobility ambition.
