Job description
Shaping economic and investment policy to promote pro-poor development and poverty reduction is one of the key political challenges facing Rwanda. In 2016, Rwanda was ranked 159th out of 188 countries on the UN’s Human Development Index. The country’s central economic policy actors face shortcomings in their ability to implement ambitious national and international reforms and the G20 Compact with Rwanda: the capacity of key state and academic actors in Rwanda to shape an economic and investment policy geared to pro-poor growth needs to be improved.
The project operates in three closely interlinked intervention areas. In the first intervention area, ‘Macroeconomic analysis, forecasts and policy impact assessments’, the project helps the Chief Economist’s Department in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, the National Bank of Rwanda, and Rwanda’s National Institute of Statistics to strengthen employees’ economic and investment policy analysis skills and supports policy recommendations for improving macroeconomic models and systematising operational processes. In the second intervention area, ‘Investment management processes’, advice is provided to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning on introducing new investment planning processes and making existing processes more effective. The third intervention area, ‘Policy-related research’, supports evidence-based communication and dialogue between state and civil society stakeholders in Rwandan economic and investment policy. It also supports development of academic and institutional capacity within the Rwandan Economic Policy Research Network, the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research, and the University of Rwanda.
