Rwanda: Urban Fabric Initiative under the Kigali Informal Settlement Upgrading Project

Capital Projects Fund Accelerator Program - US

Deadline: 16-Aug-23

The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) is launching a call for proposals for the implementation of an Urban Fabric Initiative (UFI) in Kigali, as part of the Kigali Informal Settlement Upgrading Project (KISUP).

The aim is to fund small-scale public space upgrading and community infrastructure projects co-designed and co-produced by residents and urban stakeholders, and implemented in close collaboration with local authorities (community representatives and City of Kigali).

The Call for Proposals is open to organizations (international and national Non-Governmental Organizations, Community Based Organizations, Civil Society Organizations), and to consortiums formed by private companies and at least one Civil Society Organization (CSO). This Call for Proposals aims to identify the UFI Operator to implement the Urban Fabric Initiative (UFI) in Kigali, Rwanda in close coordination with the City of Kigali and AFD.

UFIs are small-scale public space upgrading and community infrastructure projects co-designed and co-produced by residents and urban stakeholders, in the framework of urban projects funded by AFD. To date, AFD has funded UFIs in Burkina Faso, Tunisia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Madagascar, all of which are part of a specific network (the “UFI Network”).

The UFI targeted through this Call is the first initiative of this kind in Rwanda, designed in the framework of the Kigali Informal Settlement Upgrading Project (KISUP). It will be implemented in close collaboration with local authorities (the City of Kigali and the community representatives). If successful, the approach may be replicated to other settlements in Kigali.

Purpose of the KISUP UFI: The UFI, which is the subject of this call for proposal, aims at promoting participatory approach through the implementation of socio-economic facilities and public spaces of KISUP, to achieve quick wins and improve ownership and sustainability of the overall project.
