USAID/Rwanda would like to initiate a phased approach to increased engagement and partnership with local actors to meet key strategic objectives in focused technical areas. USAID/Rwanda is therefore engaging the Partnerships Incubator to lead a partner landscape assessment (PLA) to identify and assess local and/or nontraditional partners with whom the Mission could collaborate.

The team will plan an in-country assessment of local organizations, coordinate an outreach campaign, collect data through various methods (e.g, self-assessments, interviews), assess and analyze data, and write a final assessment report.
The Local Consultants will be responsible for performing research to identify local organizations in Rwanda, including the design and implementation of organizational self-assessment surveys, and conducting interviews with a range of local organizations, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), and others. The Consultants will contribute to the final report and ensure that work products are error-free, consistent, and accurate.
