The digital platform, which is scheduled to be unveiled by the Rwandan government in the coming months, will leverage technology to connect job seekers with a wide range of off-farm employment options.
This includes opportunities in e-commerce, digital services, remote work, and other emerging industries, aiming to tap into Rwanda’s growing digital economy.
