Partner Management and Organizational Strengthening Consultancy
Reference No.: RQ9557
Date Published: 02/20/2026
Due Date for Responses: 03/09/2026
Background
ReGenerate Rwanda is a five‑year program funded by the Swedish Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and implemented by TechnoServe in Rwanda, running from 2023 to 2027. The program aims to sustainably increase the income of 30,000 individuals, 70% of whom are women and youth, in the Western and Southern provinces of Rwanda, through a market systems development approach that catalyzes and scales systemic solutions in rural economies.
The program partners with a diverse set of actors, including agribusiness SMEs, cooperatives, processors, input suppliers, off‑takers, financial institutions, and NGOs, to deliver inclusive, sustainable solutions to rural women and youth. While many of these partners have strong technical offerings, they often face constraints in internal management, governance, operational systems, and performance management, which limits their ability to scale, absorb investment, and consistently serve rural, low‑income clients.
Without targeted organizational strengthening, these limitations could undermine the sustainability and scalability of the interventions.
