Rwanda TVET Board

Today, RTB hosted a delegation from Plan International Japan and Plan International Rwanda to explore strategic collaboration in advancing Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) through poultry and food value chains.

The engagement focused on a proposed feasibility study, with discussions centred on gathering baseline data to inform a market-driven approach that promotes gender equality, strengthens livelihoods, and improves nutrition across Rwanda.

This Thursday, we welcomed a delegation from Somalia's Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education for discussions on Rwanda’s TVET policies, quality assurance, competency-based curricula, and pathways linking TVET and higher education. The engagement provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and share best practices to strengthen skills development and inform TVET reforms in both Rwanda and Somalia.
