Value-Adding Initiative to Boost Employment (VIBE)

TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) and ITC proposes to implement the Value-adding Initiative to Boost Employment (VIBE), a five-year programme aiming to increase dignified and fulfilling employment for youth, particularly among excluded groups such as women, refugees, and persons with disabilities in Rwanda. VIBE is proposed as part of the Mastercard Foundation's 10-year Young Africa Works (YAW) strategy, launched in Rwanda in 2018, to provide opportunities for young people in Africa to secure dignified and fulfilling work.
