RFI- Rwanda Market Systems for Livestock Activity (MSLA)
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Rwanda is seeking information to strengthen the design of the Market Systems for Livestock Activity (MSLA) program. This Request for Information (RFI) focuses on developing profitable markets for Animal Source Food (ASF) to increase small-scale farmers' income and improve nutritional outcomes in Rwanda's Feed the Future Zone of Influence districts. The RFI aims to gather insights on four key intermediate results: improving sustainable ASF production and markets, increasing ASF consumption awareness, expanding access to finance for livestock producers, and enhancing policies supporting livestock production. Interested parties must submit their responses via email to Mr. Eriazel Bagabo (ebagabo@usaid.gov) by December 19, 2024, at 15:00 EST, with the subject line RFI-696-25-000001. USAID emphasizes that this RFI is solely for information gathering and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or mention potential incumbent contractors. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the document. The RFI covers 14 specific questions about program design, implementation approach, and potential challenges, suggesting a comprehensive approach to gathering information about the livestock market systems program. While the exact timeline for services is not explicitly stated, the RFI suggests the program will be focused on Rwanda's Feed the Future Zone of Influence districts. USAID has made it clear that responding to this RFI will not provide any competitive advantage in subsequent procurement processes, and individual feedback will not be provided to respondents. Interested parties are advised to monitor www.beta.sam.gov or www.grants.gov for future competitive business opportunities related to this initiative.

WHO MAY APPLY: U.S. CitizensBurundi is currently designated as a post authorizing only adult dependents employed at the Embassy.INTRODUCTIONBurundi is a small landlocked country that was severely damaged by a 13-year civil war that ended in 2006. Despite the recent years of peace, Burundi remains one of the poorest countries in the world, ranking 180 out of 187 countries on the 2014 U.N. Human Development Index. According to the U.N. data, as of 2011 81% of Burundi's population lives on less than $1.25 per day.With an estimated 2014 population of 10.4 million, Burundi is the second most densely populated country in Africa. The annual population growth rate is 2.4% and Burundi's demographic profile reflects a large and growing youth bulge. According to Government of Burundi (GoB) statistics, 45 percent of the population is under the age of 15. Fifty percent are under the age of 20, and the median age is 17. 2010 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data show that the total fertility rate is 6.4 while the national contraceptive prevalence rate is 18 percent for modern methods.Although some improvements have been made in recent years, the overall picture that the health indicators paint for Burundi continues to be one of deep concern. Burundi has an estimated maternal mortality rate of 500 per 100,000 live births and an under-five mortality rate of 96 per 1,000 live births. The DHS revealed that the chronic malnutrition rate was 58 percent. HIV prevalence among the general population is 1.4% with elevated prevalence among the key at risk populations of commercial sex workers and MSM. A recent report on the evolution of the Millennium Development Goals showed that Burundi's performance has been considerably weaker than the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa and is not likely to achieve the targets set for reducing infant mortality, maternal mortality, and HIV incidence by 2015.The disease burden is dominated by infectious and communicable diseases including diarrhea, malaria, and HIV/AIDS. Acute respiratory tract infections, malaria and waterborne diseases remain the main causes of death in children under five years of age. In adults, AIDS is among the leading causes of death-although it is likely to be underreported given the high levels of stigma. In addition, chronic and non-communicable diseases, such as malnutrition, high blood pressure, diabetes, and mental illness, also factor into the overall picture of morbidity and mortality in Burundi but do not seem to have the required attention.The goal of the USAID/Burundi Office's health program is to improve the health status of Burundians. To achieve this USAID's health program focuses on increasing access to, demand for and quality of integrated child and maternal health services. USAID/Burundi's health programs support a range of technical areas such as HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment; voluntary family planning; malaria control; health sector reform and strengthening; maternal health; and child survival. In addition the USAID/Burundi program supports a range of reproductive health activities and maternal and child health interventions. Planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of USAID programs are informed and led by national protocols and collaboration with the GoB and GFATM.Of USAID/Burundi's programs, the largest component consists of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) with an annual planning level of $17 million per year, followed by malaria and then Food for Peace. Since 2008, PPEFAR funding has supported facility and community-based prevention, care and support programs, health systems strengthening, and orphans and vulnerable children programming. PEPFAR is the cornerstone and largest component of the U.S. President's Global Health Initiative (GHI). With a special focus on saving the lives of newborns, women and children, GHI's goal is to save the greatest number of lives by increasing and building upon what works and then supporting countries as they improve the health of their own people. The overarching goal of the PEPFAR program in Burundi is to strengthen the capacity to plan, deliver, monitor, and evaluate high-quality, sustainable HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services. Given massive unmet needs in health and limited funding, USAID assistance focuses on programming that combines linked service delivery in priority areas, technical assistance for national and local capacity building and preparation for longer-term policy and structural interventions. In addition, scaling up programs nationwide remains a goal, focused on HIV/AIDS, family planning/reproductive health, malaria and nutrition.BASIC FUNCTION OF THE POSITIONThe objective of the contract is to obtain the services of a Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager who will provide leadership and advisory services on the full range of family planning/reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health and malaria activities including strategic planning for the USAID/Burundi portfolio.

The incumbent will represent USAID at the highest government and donor levels.The Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager will provide managerial oversight, supervision, and technical guidance to support the implementation of all USAID health programs including its two largest bilateral programs, the Integrated Health Project (IHP) and the PMTCT Acceleration Project. IHP combines many health areas that were historically and separately managed by different teams. The Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager is expected to coordinate their work and report on the IHP as one consolidated unit. Because of the integrated nature of the program and the importance of HIV/AIDS within the portfolio, the Senior Health Team Leader/Project Manager will ensure synergy and complementarities between HIV/AIDS, family planning/MCH, malaria and all other health-related activities. S/he will also work closely with other USAID teams including economic growth, democracy and governance, and most notable the Food for Peace team which is addressing malnutrition in Burundi.MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES1.
