- BACKGROUND: The International Trade Centre (ITC) is a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization for trade-related technical cooperation in developing countries. It is the only multilateral agency fully dedicated to supporting the internationalization of SMEs. ITC's mission is to foster inclusive and sustainable growth and development through trade and international business development. ITC Headquarters is located in Geneva, Switzerland. ITC projects and programmes contribute to the global efforts to achieve UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development and the Aid for Trade agenda. In the context of this work, Rwanda Joint Programme (JP) on “Amplifying digital opportunities for cross-border trade” (2024-2027) is an ongoing effort between four (4) UN participating organizations (PUNOs) each ITC, IOM, UNCDF and UNCTAD with ITC as lead PUNO. The JP is funded by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) Fund, under the Digital Transformation Window launched by the UN Deputy Secretary-General, in the objective to develop innovative solutions that deliver transformative results focusing on catalytic impact, Leaving No One Behind, and leveraging broader funding and financing (in particular, EU investments) in the digital space. The JP aims to improve the livelihoods, economic opportunities, and overall well-being of Small-Scale Cross-Border Traders (SSCBTs) in Rwanda, the majority of whom are women in the informal sector. The JP will be leveraging digital technology to create better connections to resources, new markets, and existing services, and supporting efforts to ensure that regional/national policies related to CBT and digitalization translate into tangible outcomes for traders. The JP employs a three-pronged approach focused on the macro-policy, meso-service-provision, and grassroots level, strengthening the linkages between all three, through below specific expected outcomes: Outcome 1: Improved governance and regulatory framework for a conducive digital trade ecosystem. Outcome 2: Existing services are more accessible and relevant to needs of SSCBTs, through creation of tailored digital tools and capacity-building to service providers Outcome 3: SSCBTs are economically and socially empowered to improve their livelihoods and well-being, including by using and benefitting from tailored digital solutions. To support the Rwanda JP interventions, the programme is looking for a Digital Trade National Coordinator (50%), who will oversee and coordinate the implementation of the JP in Rwanda, serving as the focal point for ITC Headquarters to achieve the programme’s outcomes: DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES Under the supervision and guidance of the Country Manager and designated programme staff at ITC HQ and technical sections, the coordinator will be actively involved in supporting the successful implementation of the JP. Coordination and Strategic Oversight - Act as the primary liaison between ITC HQ and stakeholders in Rwanda, including Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM), RCO and EU, to ensure alignment and effective implementation of programme activities with Rwanda government priorities. - Coordinate and oversee all aspects of programme implementation, ensuring activities are executed according to agreed timelines and budgets. - Facilitate regular communication and coordination among the PUNOs (IOM, UNCDF, UNCTAD) and key stakeholders. - Support coordination meetings with all PUNOs to track progress, address challenges, and align strategies with the overall programme objectives. - Facilitate the establishment and operation of a Steering Committee and a Technical Committee, ensuring that these governance bodies are effectively coordinated and that their recommendations are implemented. The Steering Committee will provide strategic direction, while the Technical Committee will address technical and operational issues. - Organize joint programme Steering Committee meetings, prepare meeting agendas and other documents required for the review
