Young Rwandans didn't just get consulted — they helped write the jobs policy for the next decade

At EU–ILO Youth Employment Expert Network events in Kigali on 7–9 October, young Rwandans held a dedicated session, drafted a joint Call to Action, and presented their recommendations directly to the Ministry of Public Service and Labour — input that fed into validation of Rwanda's National Employment Policy 2026–2036. The work is linked to a Luxembourg-funded ILO project on decent jobs and skills for youth in Rwanda's digital economy. The people the policy will shape most were in the room, writing it.
