About the Isoko Y'Ubuzima Project

The Isoko y'Ubuzima Project is a five-year Rwanda Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) activity funded by the United States Government. It is executed by a consortium led by Water For People and includes IRC, CARE International, VEI, and local partner African Evangelistic Enterprise (AEE). The project operates in 10 districts: Rwamagana, Kayonza, Ngoma, Kirehe, Nyagatare, Ruhango, Nyanza, Nyamagabe, Ngororero, and Nyabihu.

Project Goal: To improve access to and utilization of safe, sustainable drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services.

Project Scope

The Isoko y'Ubuzima project aims to strengthen sanitation and hygiene markets and improve access to WASH services for all. The project has identified local community sanitation and hygiene products, including lower-cost latrine slabs, emptiable dry toilets, and handwashing solutions. The project has also developed community preference-based latrine designs through a human-centered design (HCD) approach.

Consultancy Assignment

Consultancy services are required to develop and design a comprehensive sanitation and hygiene products and services catalog that builds upon the existing local solutions and community-centered approaches identified by the project.
