CONSULTANT FOR PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT

Programme: EAR Country: Rwanda

Dates: May-June 2024 (exact dates TBC)

  1. Context of the country

Rwanda is a small and landlocked country in east-central Africa, characterized by hilly terrain and fertile land. It shares borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi. Since the devastating 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda has worked diligently to maintain political stability**.**Despite external challenges, Rwanda’s economy remains resilient. In the first three quarters of 2023, it achieved an impressive 7.6% growth rate. The country’s public-sector-led development model faces limitations, with rising public debt due to large investments. Additionally, external financing plays a crucial role, but promoting private sector dynamism is essential. Being landlocked affects Rwanda’s transportation costs and competitiveness compared to neighboring countries. In summary, Rwanda continues to progress economically and politically, while addressing critical challenges to ensure sustainable development and prosperity.

  1. Humanity & Inclusion in Rwanda.

HI presence in Rwanda started in 1994, in the aftermath of the genocide perpetrated against Tutsi. From 1994 to 1996, HI worked alongside many other NGOs to provide emergency assistance to a population plunged in extreme distress, misery and poverty. From 1996 to 2000, HI started to engage in long-term activities, aiming at improving the living conditions of people most at risk of exclusion, particularly those with mental health problems, and HIV / AIDS, by providing them with appropriate support. Since 2001, HI implements and supports development projects to prevent gender, disability and age based violence, to provide physical and functional rehabilitation, mental health and psychosocial support, to promote inclusive education and early childhood development. Finally, HI promotes the inclusion of people with disabilities in society by supporting organisations of people with disabilities and civil society actors. In these sectors, we support the national government strategies through our projects. HI is currently present in all 30 districts of Rwanda. Since 2021, regionalization with Uganda and Kenya is in place to facilitate decision making and provide technical support closer to our areas of intervention.
