Background and Program Context

The Youth Entrepreneurship in Agriculture in Rwanda (YEA-R) program is a five-year initiative funded by MasterCard Foundation and implemented by SNV. The program aims to create dignified and equitable employment opportunities for 40,000 young women, men, and persons with disabilities through a network of Rwandan partner organizations.

Assignment Objectives

As part of its sustainability strategy, the YEA-R program emphasizes capacity strengthening and progressive transfer of responsibilities to local partners. This includes enhancing partners' systems in financial management, internal controls, compliance, and program implementation. As partners assume increased responsibilities and manage larger funding allocations, it is critical to ensure that adequate systems and controls are in place to safeguard resources and deliver results effectively.
