Background The Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) received on behalf of the Government of Rwanda (GoR) a Policy and Human Resources Development Grant (PHRDG) valued at USD 995,000 from the Government of Japan, channeled through the African Development Bank (the Bank). This non-reimbursable grant is strategically allocated to bolster two key initiatives: the operationalization of the Gabiro Agribusiness Hub Project (GAHP) and the Kivu Cold Group (KCG) initiative at GAHP. The specific objectives of the grant are to: De-risk Phase II Development: Finance essential feasibility studies and environmental and social assessments (ESAs) necessary for GAHP Phase II, aligning the development with the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ) framework. Structuring the GAHP Phase II into PPP model project: Structuring the PPP transaction structuring advisory services and development of investor promotional pitch decks Enhance Cold Chain Logistics: Provide technical and financial support to the Kivu Cold Group for the development and operationalization of sustainable, solar-powered cold storage and logistics solutions, thereby mitigating post-harvest losses within the national agricultural value chain. The project will be implemented through MINGRIs executing agency and direct grant beneficiary the Gabiro Agribusiness Hub (GAH) in a period of 12 months. GAH will oversee in collaboration with the Bank the effective delivery of all grant activities. To this end GAH wishes to recruit a Project Coordinator to support management in coordinating implementation of the different project activities. The Project Coordinator will be housed under the GAH Project Implementation Unit (PIU). 2. Objective of the Assignment The Project Coordinators primary objective is to oversee, manage, and coordinate the day-to-day implementation of all PHRDG-funded activities under MINAGRI/GAHP. He or she will ensure the effective and efficient delivery of all project outputs within established timelines, budgets, and defined quality standards. This role is critical for maintaining strict compliance with all relevant Bank and GoR policies and fiduciary frameworks. Ultimately, the Coordinator drives the project toward successful completion and achievement of its strategic goals. Furthermore, the Government of the Republic of Rwanda has already requested USD 130 million in financing from the Bank to prepare the Gabiro Agribusiness Hub Phase II project during 2026 and secure the Banks Board approval in 2027. Timely completion of all components - especially the feasibility study and environmental and social safeguard studies under this grant project - is critical to achieve this delivery target. In this context, the Project Coordinator will be a full-time staff member, dedicated solely to this project under the supervision of the CEO, GAH, to ensure timely execution of all components under this grant project. 3. Summary of Key Responsibilities of the Project Coordinator The Project Coordinator will be responsible for leading and managing the daily coordination of all project activities across key partners. This involves preparing and maintaining core planning documents (PIP, Annual Work Plan, and Procurement Plan) and overseeing all consultants and service providers. A crucial function is ensuring effective liaison and communication between all stakeholders (GoR, Bank, KCG, and other partners). Furthermore, the role requires providing support for procurement, financial management, and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), ensuring strict adherence to Bank fiduciary standards throughout project execution. Specifically, the coordinator will be responsible for preparation of the Gabiro Agribusiness Hub Phase II project during 2026 and secure the Banks Board approval in 2027.
