ADB to channel $8.8m in skills development

NYARUGENGE - The African Development Bank has offered U$ 8.8m (approx. Rwf 4.9b) to support science and technology in skills development in Rwanda. The funds will be channelled through the national budget. Major projects include facilitating the opening of the school of Environmental planning and Design (SEPAD) at KIST and promoting female access to science and technology at tertiary education level. “As you may be aware, the critical shortage of skilled labour has been highlighted in the EDPRS as a major impediment to attaining economic growth,” said Diko Mukete, ADB Resident Representative.
