Tender description

The Department for International Development (DFID) intends to publish a new tender opportunity in the last quarter of 2018 seeking partner(s) to deliver a 5 year programme to enable adolescent girls in Rwanda to have the capabilities for a safe, healthy, educated and empowered transition to adulthood. IAG-R will deliver a life skills programme to 150 000 11 year-old girls (and boys). Building on the first phase of work, this programme will have a stronger emphasis on inclusion and disability and will also include work with adolescent boys. IAG-R will have a strong focus on learning and will take a more adaptive approach to delivery. DFID intends to hold an EME event on Friday, 5.10.2018 to discuss the programme. The main objectives of the event are to provide the market with an update on the current context in Rwanda, to share information on the design of the proposed new programme components, and to provide opportunities for suppliers to comment on the intended design or procurement approaches. We wish to seek market feedback on the feasibility of the proposed delivery options and to discuss both any challenges and opportunities the market may identify. DFID will deliver a presentation covering the various facets of the planned programme components and pose questions to attendees on the proposed outputs and delivery channels, as well as answering questions from partners. We are happy to receive questions in advance, which DFID will respond to at the event. The discussion’s headlines will also be published after the event on the Supplier Portal. We will not disclose the source of the questions and answers. EME Date and Participation Details. The event is expected to take place at DFID Rwanda, Parcelle No. 1131, Boulevard de I’Umuganda, Kacyiru Sud, BP 576, Kigali on Friday, 5.10.2018 in the form of a 2 hour session starting 0900 hrs Kigali Time.
