    The USAID Mission in Kigali, Rwanda has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for an upcoming five-year WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) activity aimed at enhancing access to safe drinking water and sanitation services, with an estimated funding of $19 to $21 million. The RFI seeks industry feedback on a draft Program Description, focusing on improving water supply governance, capacity building, and market-based sanitation solutions. Respondents must submit a brief cover page and their comments on the draft PD by September 18, 2020, to the designated email address, with no compensation for responses and all submissions becoming USAID property. The program aims to address the challenges outlined in Rwanda's WASH context, where access to basic services remains low despite improvements. The proposed activity will enhance district government capacities, improve service delivery through public-private partnerships, and increase public funding for WASH initiatives. Key components include strengthening decentralized governance, professionalizing rural water services, and improving sanitation options. Moreover, a robust monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework will support ongoing adaptations to the program to maximize impact and ensure sustainability of improvements in WASH services for Rwandan communities.
