Rwanda Dairy Sector Competitiveness (Rdsc) Project: USAID/Rwanda is soliciting applications to implement the "Rwanda Dairy Sector Competitiveness" (RDSC) project. Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to provide approximately US$5 Million in total USAID funding to be allocated over the five-year period broken down as: 3 years (Phase I) and 2 years (Phase II). USAID intends to expand activities into additional geographic areas during the second phase. However, the duration and continuation of Phase II will depend on the availability of funds and the effectiveness of the program during the first two years. An evaluation will be conducted at the end of the twenty four months of the activity and the recipient will be required to submit to the Agreement Officer a written non-competitive continuation application for review and approval for the second phase. The approval of the second phase will be made no later than 28 months after award. The RDSC project will expand economic opportunities in the Rwandan dairy sector by enhancing value-added production, processing, and increasing market-driven private sector growth development. Within the context of integrating rural development activities focused on the dairy sector with health-related activities, USAID may also support HIV/AIDS prevention and palliative care services. This is an integrated project with half the funding from the Rural Economic Growth team and half from the PEPFAR team.
