ProWOOD+

The project aims to improve the situation of formally and informally employed workers in the Rwandan timber sector. Particularly at the state-supported artisan centres (ICPCs) through the cooperation with trade unions. In addition, a system for 'Recognition of prior learning' for Rwanda's timber sector is being developed, introduced and applied by certifiying workers. The ‘Carpentress Club’ initiative, launched as part of the proWOOD project to promote women in the sector, is being strengthened organisationally and rolled out nationwide. Last but not least, the cooperation between stakeholders in the timber value chain in Rwanda is being strengthened with the help of round tables and networking events.
