With 20% of Rwandan youth being unemployed, Feed the Future-funded USAID/Rwanda Private Sector Driven Agricultural Growth (PSDAG) program partnered with the Rwandan Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) and the Rwanda Youth in Agribusiness Forum (RYAF) to launch a one-year paid internship program for youth in the agriculture sector. Through the program, young graduates with degrees and diplomas in agronomy, finance, food processing, and other relevant areas have been placed among 12 small agri-businesses and 48 cooperatives to complete their internships. RTI International is tasked with placing graduates in businesses and cooperatives that will lead them to full-time employment by helping to develop their professional skills and networking throughout the project.
