employment aims at ensuring that there is equal opportunity for all
Rwandans in training and apprenticeship and allows them to make their
personal choice of employment they wish to engage in. Apart from laws
detailed in the previous report that are still into force in Rwanda, new
national legislations related to work have been enacted to facilitate realisation
of the right to employment/work which include the following:
- Law No 86/2013 of 11/09/2013 establishing the General Statute for
Public Service
- The law N° 13/2009 of 27 May 2009 regulating Labour in Rwanda
(Labour code) which provides for basic labour rights, including the
prohibition of discriminatory employment and the freedom of opinion.
The law also guarantees the freedom of association of workers, trade
unions and the right to strike. The Public Service Commission oversees
the recruitment and placement of staff in all public institutions. It also
arbitrates employment related complaints from individual workers.

removed some barriers to application for Jobs in public Service;
