Scaling Youth Workforce Development Outcomes by Transforming Local Systems: A RWANDA CASE STUDY

This case study illustrates the key factors contributing to workforce systems change over a decade-long period in Rwanda (roughly 2008–2019). Rather than attempting to present an exhaustive picture of the Rwandan workforce system, we offer a snapshot of what we have learned about the system and how it has changed. Although we do so from the vantage point of an international implementing organization,this case study informs a range of system stakeholders including governments, donors, and international organizations about how they can work together to improve youth skills development and employment outcomes.
