Expression of Interest (EOI)

 CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEASUREMENT FRAMEWORK FOR ICT SOCIAL-ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF THE PERIOD OF 2010-2020

  1. BACKGROUND

The Ministry of Information Communication Technology and Innovation (MINICT) has a mission of addressing national priorities for economic growth and poverty reduction through the development and coordination of national information technology, communication & Innovation policies and programs as well as citizen’s empowerment. The paragraphs below present a brief overview of the policy framework guiding the industry as well as some high-level results registered by the sector as a whole.

The National Information and Communications Infrastructure (NICI) plans, I~III 2000 – 2015 were initiated to guide the ICT4D programs and initiatives linked to the objectives and goals outlined in Vision 2020. NICI I (2000 – 2005) focused on putting in place the foundational legal and regulatory framework to allow the liberalization of the telecommunication sector and attract private sector investments. During NICI II (2006-2010), the focus was on accelerating infrastructure rollout to connect the people through increased coverage of telecommunication networks, licensing of more operators, and implementation of the National Fiber Optic Backbone. NICI III (2011 – 2015) focused on Services – extending the benefits of increased connectivity to people through the transformation of services to government and citizen and business.

The fourth generation of the NICI Plans, the Smart Rwanda 2020 Master Plan (SRMP), was adopted in October 2015, to be implemented through to 2020. The SRMP was based on three enablers: ICT Capability & Capacity; Governance & Management and Secured & Shared Infrastructure and seven strategic pillars (Health, education, agriculture, finance, business and industry, women in technology and Government). At a national level, the SRMP aimed to serve as a bridging roadmap for leveraging ICT between the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS II 2013 – 2018) and the National Strategy for Transformation (NST I 2018 – 2024). The SRMP’s vision (“Towards a Knowledge-based society) was underpinned by 67 projects in 20 focus areas based on ten core objectives covering all the seven pillars and three enablers.

From the SRMP, efforts of mainstreaming ICT in other sectors also yielded individual sector-led strategies such as ICT in Education, ICT for Agriculture, Digital Payment Strategy, draft Digital Health Strategy, draft Women Empowerment through Technology, ICT for Commerce, and the recent ICT in Governance.

Rwanda’s ICT sector led by the Ministry of ICT and Innovation in collaboration with all its agencies, and public, private, and development partners has registered significant progress and achievements. Active mobile-cellular telephone subscriptions stand at 9,040,327, which implies a mobile penetration rate of 74.8. The number of Internet subscriptions increased from 5,475,448 to 6,234,520 representing an increase of 13.9% between 2017/2018. The nascent private sector player has strengthened with global players such as Carnegie Mellon University, Andela in ICT talent and capacity development as well as Mara Phones in smartphone production, are established in Rwanda. Challenges however still persist. Rwanda’s ICT and Innovation ranks demonstrate mixed results as follows; Global ICT development index (153/175), ICT Adoption Index (111/141), Global Innovation Index (94/130), Network Readiness Index (80/139, and eGovernment index (120/193).

Some of the key bottlenecks affecting the sector’s growth and utilization include; low electricity penetration high cost of broadband and smart devices, low digital literacy levels, low production of local content in local language affecting usage by citizens, high cost of local hosting, low device and internet penetration. With regards to innovation, Rwanda was ranked as the 5th best-performing country in Sub Saharan Africa and 94th worldwide in the 2019 Global Innovation Index (GII). Rwanda outperforms its peers in the innovation input sub-index with a worldwide rank of 65. However, the country’s performance in the innovation output sub-index is much lower, with a rank of 123. Targeted efforts are required to improve the country’s innovation outputs.

It is undeniable that ICT is a critical enabler in the socio-economic transformation of economies. Rwanda in general and the ICT sector in specific are at critical junctures of development. As a nation, this year marks the end of Rwanda’s Vision 2020 implementation and the beginning of Vision 2050 and for the sector, this marks the end of SMART Rwanda Master Plan 1 2015-2020 (SRMP1) implementation and the beginning of SMRP II. It is therefore an opportune time to document not only the achievements registered by the sector but to also investigate the socio-economic impact of ICT initiatives and investments in the past decade.




  1. General Objective of the Consultancy Project

The objective of this assignment is to create a working framework to pave way for the assessment of the impact of ICT in Rwanda. This will be done through the use a list of specifically designated indicators through the use of advanced methodologies to exhaustively analyze and reveal the required variables needed to measure the socio-economic impact of ICT investments and initiatives from the year 2000 – 2010.

During this consultancy, a pilot and sample research analysis of the various reports provided. This will be carried out on the given indicators. The exercise should be purposely designed, to arrive at a conclusion and comparison that clarifies and disaggregates certain needed conditions to assess clearly the socio-economic impact.

The results of this exercise will soon be used to accurately measure the social-economic impact.  The socio-economic impact will be measured at the individual, organizational, and national levels and will include both the positive and negative effects of ICT services in terms of their environmental, social, and economic influences. For individuals, key socioeconomic factors include education, health, personal income, quality of life, the standard of living, social liberty, personal wealth, and occupation. For organizations, key socioeconomic factors include global competitiveness, business opportunities, organizational income, consumer demand, business reputation and brands, business assets, and workforce. Global competitiveness is defined as the ability to successfully confront international corporations in the global marketplace.

Managing Director at Spark Microgrants:Deadline:28th October, 2020

Spark Microgrants

Spark Microgrants believes in a world where everyone lives with dignity and determines their own positive future.  Decades of prescriptive aid have sidelined the poor from the very programs meant to uplift them. For nearly a decade, Spark Microgrants has been pioneering a new approach to international aid. We believe in local solutions and catalyzing rural villages facing poverty into action. After years of refining a community organizing and seed funding model for rural village action we are garnering demand from emerging nations and leading civil society organizations to train and support them to adapt and deploy the approach at scale.




At the heart of Spark’s model, the Facilitated Collective Action Process (FCAP), are ‘town-hall’ style weekly meetings, in which women and men, young and old, plan together for their community’s future. Each village democratically elects a leadership committee, establishes a village savings account, and launches a project of their choice. Members receive training on financial management and transparency, leadership, village planning, and advocacy. Each village then receives US$8,000 in seed funds to turn project ideas into reality and receives additional management support.

In our first decade we reached 320+ villages where each launches their own local impact projects, benefiting over 230,000 lives. In the next three years, we seek to accelerate the growth of this approach, through establishing a national program to reach 14,000 villages in Rwanda, lead cutting edge research on the benefits of facilitation, and curate a global community of practice for organizations across the continent and beyond actively using the FCAP.

As a team, we share a set of common values that shape ‘how’ we work. These are:

1)   Facilitators. We don’t impose; we enable others to generate impact.

2)   Community-driven. We are motivated by what is best for the community.

3)   Process-centered. The how of what we do is just as important as the what.

4)   Authentic. Our vision and values live in everything we do.

5)   Dynamic. We seek opportunities and are willing to take risks to serve our community Partners better.




ABOUT THE ROLE

Spark is seeking a Managing Director to scale our work from 190 to 14,000 villages across Rwanda through coalition building, national policy development, and strong program delivery. The Government of Rwanda and Spark have an ambitious strategy to strengthen village level governance and enhance rural livelihoods across the country.

To finance this initiative, Spark is in the final steps of securing a $6 million World Bank grant through the Japanese Social Development Fund, for the Advancing Citizen Engagement (ACE) Project. The project is anticipated to kick off in early 2021. The project will improve the livelihoods of 85,000 people across 245 villages in Rwanda, and enhance Local and Central Government capacity for participatory village planning, utilizing Spark’s tried and tested model for village development, the Facilitated Collective Action Process (FCAP). Your strategic leadership will guarantee successful replication of the FCAP through our World Bank and Government partnership and ensure we are set on the path to national scale in Rwanda.

The Managing Director will act as the key leader in bringing the FCAP to scale in Rwanda, coordinating national, multilateral, and global partnership work; and will work closely with the executive team and interact with the Board of Directors to direct our work in Rwanda. You will be responsible for a team of 30+ program staff, directly manage the Rwanda Country Director, own government and funding partner relationships, and lead Spark’s policy advisory function to the Government of Rwanda.

We are looking for candidates with success in building bilateral and multilateral partnerships; are energized about building a coalition across funding agencies and implementation groups; and demonstrate operational excellence and a passion for culture and people development. The right candidate will not want to do ‘development as usual’ but question ‘how’ aid works and ensure that Spark’s program is ultimately accountable to the villages we serve.




YOUR OBJECTIVES AND KEY RESULTS WILL INCLUDE;

  • Management and Leadership: Provision of strategic leadership to the Rwanda program to set and achieve goals driving enhanced program quality, scope and efficiency;
  • Effective management of a team of 30+ country program staff, driving excellence and promoting and embodying values in the team.

  • Coalition Building: Support the Government of Rwanda to prepare and adopt a National Framework for Participatory Village Planning;
  • Ensure quality design, financing and adoption of a national program for participatory village development.
  • Drive national-level dialogue, policy reform, and program design by leveraging evidence from programming implementation.
  • Build a coalition of development partners and Government in support of a National Framework for Participatory Village Planning.
  • Year 1 focus: Establish inter-ministerial technical working relationships to drive design of the National Framework, and cultivate relationships with non-governmental development partners.
  • Grant Management: Quality execution of the World-Bank funded Advancing Citizen Engagement (ACE) Project to improve rural livelihoods and enhance Government capacity for citizen engagement;
  • Support compliance with donor requirements through ownership of all Grant-specific processes, budgets, and legal agreements, and leadership and coordination across program, finance, and operational teams.
  • Lead management of donor and Government relationships and ensure timely and quality submission of project reports.
  • Ensure effective and timely program implementation in line with project work plan and safeguarding instruments.
  • Year 1 focus: Oversight of ACE Project launch and roll-out of timely program operations to 245 villages, establishment of operational and programmatic systems for reporting and data management.
