Izere Vocational Center

A Project proposal for the construction of Izere Vocational Center in Diocese of Byumba Izere Center.

In Rwanda, the rate access about schools stills at low level. The percentage of primary schools is estimated around 90% whereas 10% is for the secondary school. In the aim of resolving this situation and according to the millennium goals, the vision of Africa aims at increasing the rate of pupils in the schools. In Rwanda, the government has particularly established a national program of teaching people as many as possible to increase the rate of schooling as follows:

HORIZON:
Access rate of primary school (2010) 90% (2015) 95% (2020) 100%
Access rate of secondary school (2010) 10% (2015)  20% (2020) 50%

In order to make succeed this project, the financial mobilization, monitoring plan and rational implementation are necessary. That is why Rwanda is calling on people, private sectors, and civil sectors to participate actively in this policy.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT:

In course of this mission the consultant has identified in documentary form the principal characteristics of locality such as relief, access infrastructures, draining, available resources of water, socio-economic data and other information which the agency may consider as important to achieve its mission. This phase has helped also to refine the activities planning that will follow in the other phases.

During the mission period, the consultant contacted the local authorities to create with them a space of agreement exchange so as to establish the interest climate with the beneficiary communities. This phase will allow the consultant and the experts to explore the whole project, to identify its constraints, its orientations and to refine specific objectives in order to fit into place the preparation and the execution of the mission, especially in questionnaire preparation of survey and in canvas of collection of the secondary data. This is why this report has permitted to find out the real needs which are in the domain of Technical Teaching. It also permitted to notice that beneficiaries are ready to contribute in the work of construction through the common work of all people named in Rwanda language: umuganda. The field of one hector is already there and it is enough for all buildings and school garden.
