Context of activity

Disability inclusion, rehabilitation and assistive Technology is a crosscutting activity implemented by the Inclusive Nutrition and Early childhood Development (INECD) – a Five-Year USAID-Funded Program commonly known as USAID Gikuriro Kuri Bose. The program came as one of the initiatives that would bring solutions to Rwanda’s health systems after the release of the situation assessment of rehabilitation situation report in 2021 (STARS report) showing some gaps and unmet needs in terms of access to good quality Assistive technology (AT) and rehabilitation services in some facilities including Rugengeli and Gihundwe.

As an operational partner of the Ministry of Health (MoH) intervening in Disability Inclusion and Rehabilitation sector, the INECD Program is planning to provide technical and material support to these healthcare facilities with the intention to address the identified gaps and unmet rehabilitation needs as per 2021 STARS report. With guidance and technical support from MoH and Rwanda Biomedical center (RBC), the 2 healthcare facilities have developed a list of priority needs and the technical specifications for each item. It is against this background that the INECD program through Federation Handicap International which is a consortium member, in collaboration with MoH and RBC, is seeking for proposals from reputable and authorized local vendors for the supply of rehabilitation/Assistive technology (AT) equipment and other related consumable for Ruhengeri and Gihundwe hospitals.
