Promotion of Female Carpenters in Rwanda


With its proWOOD project, the Internationaler Bund (IB) promotes the wood sector in Rwanda and focuses specifically on female carpenters. In March 2023 the "Carpentress Club" was launched - a special exchange format which appeals to girls and young women who are interested in the carpentry profession. The aim is to promote the professional development of female carpenters and offer needs-based qualifications. Female carpenters are often involved in furniture finishing, which is why further training courses are held in the area of surface treatment and design, among other things.

The proWOOD projects started in November 2021 with a duration of three years. It is part of the Special Initiative “Decent Work for a Just Transition” of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with sequa gGmbH and further German and Rwandan partners.
