About the VIBE Programme

In partnership with Mastercard Foundation, TradeMark Africa (TMA) and the International Trade Centre (ITC) are jointly implementing a five-year Value-added Initiative to Boost Employment (VIBE) Programme. The VIBE Programme aims to increase dignified employment, particularly among excluded groups such as women, youth, refugees, and people living with disabilities in Rwanda. 
 
Through its flagship programme on women and trade, the SheTrades Initiative, ITC is working with 150 women-led businesses in Rwanda’s horticulture sector so they can become more competitive, access new market opportunities, and create more jobs, especially for young women. This work is being undertaken in collaboration with the SheTrades Rwanda Hub, co-owned by ITC and hosted by the Private Sector Federation Specialized Cluster.
