Laying a foundation for better working conditions

A market systems analysis focusing on improving job quality and livelihoods for Rwanda's informal workers in the building construction sector.

It's a rapidly growing sector with 98 per cent of the workforce informally employed. Sida's Promoting decent work in Rwanda’s informal economy programme is specifically tasked with trying to improve job quality for informal workers.

This report sets out potential intervention areas which can address the root causes of key market constraints to better job quality. It looks at how to strengthen the building construction market system and improve job quality for the informally employed.
