Request for Proposals for Consultancy Services to Provide Quality Assurance for AFR Software Development Projects

About Access to Finance Rwanda

Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR) is a Rwandan not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), established in 2010 to promote financial inclusion and financial sector development in Rwanda. AFR is currently funded by Sweden, the Mastercard Foundation, Co-Develop, and the Gates Foundation.

AFR supports the removal of systemic barriers that hinder effective and sustainable access and usage of financial services by low-income people, particularly the rural poor, women, youth, smallholder farmers, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). AFR is a gender-intentional organization and mainstreams gender equality across all its programs. It is guided by the Market System Development (MSD) approach, recognizing that efforts to increase financial inclusion and financial sector development must be market-led, profitable, and sustainable.

Background and Scope

Access to Finance Rwanda is implementing a range of digital platforms aimed at strengthening internal operations, improving program delivery, and enhancing data management. As AFR's technology ecosystem grows, it has become essential to ensure that all software systems are developed with the highest standards of quality, security, and reliability.

AFR seeks to establish a Framework Agreement for Independent Quality Assurance (QA) Services. The QA provider will serve as AFR's quality partner, offering assurance across all current and future software development projects undertaken during the framework period.
