Background

Digitalization is critical for the transformation of government procedures, processes, and service delivery.

It’s in this context that Rwanda Information Society (RISA) is mandated to implement national Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) policies and digitalization programs in order to: fast-track socio-economic growth; accelerate community development through mainstreaming ICT in national socio-economic sectors; and prepare/coordinate programs that increase the required skills in the field of ICT to achieve a knowledge-based economy.

One of the initiatives being pursued by RISA is the Government Business Intelligence Solution (GBIS) which is seeking to provide an integrated business intelligence platform in order to enable decision-making by various government entities/leaders. It is part of an overarching government architecture framework, the government stack. The GBIS responds to the specific requirements for business intelligence and data analytics inside the government. Currently, it is fully operational and will be extended according to the Government of Rwanda (GoR) data architecture vision. The current environment supports not only creation and management of dashboards, but also connection to several data endpoints/sources. The GBIS will enable GoR institutions to respectively report via an integrated framework. Allowing high-level GoR decision-makers to keep track of achievements, interrogate the data and propose timely courses of action.

Understandably, data classification, cataloguing and integration are paramount for the GBIS to achieve its mission and there are ongoing initiatives to categorize/catalogue/classify existing data within the different data sources in GoR with an effort to reach standardized data governance and data discovery.

In this context, Enabel is actively looking for an International Data Architect who will come onboard to orchestrate and steer the technical initiatives and harmonize the data architecture across GoR.

Background

Enabel is currently implementing a five-year cooperation program (2019 - 2024), with a total budget of 120 million euros, in four priority development sectors in Rwanda: health, agriculture, urbanization and public financial management.

Local manufacturing of vaccines is a topic which is creating a lot of interest from a vast and diverse combination of stakeholders. Firstly, the private sector has taken the spotlight recently with the announcement of BioNTech to establish a manufacturing plant of the mRNA SARS-Cov-2 vaccine or at least for part of the production process up to the stage of "Fill and Finish". Secondly, major investment development agencies, such as the European Investment Bank (EIB) or the International Finance Corporation (IFC) which is part of the World Bank group.

Finally, at country level, traditional development partners have answered the government call. For the health sector, Enabel, as the only agency of a EU member state focusing on the health sector, has established a close relationship with the Rwanda FDA (Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority).
