Expression of Interest (EOI)

Consultancy services for providing investor readiness services for at least 15 Start-ups/SMEs

Reference Number: 83422200

Background

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. GIZ has worked in Rwanda for over 30 years. The primary objectives between the Government of Rwanda and the Great Lakes Region and the Federal Republic of Germany are poverty reduction and promotion of sustainable development. To achieve these objectives, GIZ Rwanda is active in the sectors of Decentralization and Good Governance, Economic Development and Employment Promotion, Energy and ICT (Information and Communications Technology), Natural Resources, Peace and Security and Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).




0. Context

The GIZ project “Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development” (DSSD) has a mandate to advise Rwandan institutions on the implementation of the Smart Rwanda Master Plan (2016-2020) and its priority projects. The project also aims to promote the development of digital solutions in collaboration with sector ministries, local and international private companies, research institutions and civil society.

The Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development project entered a new phase in 2021. In addition to digital solutions that are being developed together with the Rwandan partner authorities, one of the project objectives is designed to develop initiatives to promote digital participation in collaboration between public and private stakeholders. The assumption here is those digital skills, combined with target-group-specific digital services, will enable a large proportion of the population to be part of the digital transformation and use these services. To reach the target groups effectively, use leveraging effects and develop user-centric services, stronger cooperation between public and private actors is being promoted. This will contribute to develop and offer services in a systematic and coordinated manner.

At the ecosystem level, there is a rising number of innovators proposing solutions for multiple societal challenges. However, most innovations will not make substantial progress to becoming marketable or scalable products or services.

Expression of Interest (EOI)

Provision of service on supply chain mapping and training for INATrace (Blockchain-based Solution for Agricultural Supply Chain Traceability) project.

Reference Number: 83422795

Background

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. GIZ has worked in Rwanda for over 30 years. The primary objectives between the Government of Rwanda and the Great Lakes Region and the Federal Republic of Germany are poverty reduction and promotion of sustainable development. To achieve these objectives, GIZ Rwanda is active in the sectors of Decentralization and Good Governance, Economic Development and Employment Promotion, Energy and ICT (Information and Communications Technology), Natural Resources, Peace and Security and Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).




  1. Context and background
  2. Description of assignment

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a global service provider in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. GIZ has over 50 years of experience in a wide variety of areas, including economic development and employment promotion, energy and the environment, and peace and security. The diverse expertise of our federal enterprise is in demand around the globe, with the German Government, European Union institutions, the United Nations, and governments of other countries all benefiting from our services. Its main commissioning party is the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). GIZ works closely with the private sector, fostering successful interaction between development policy and foreign trade.

The GIZ Sectoral Programme for Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains and Standards is a transnational project that is based in Germany, and that focuses on agricultural commodities such as coffee, cocoa, banana, soya, rubber, palm oil and cotton. For the project implementation in Rwanda, a partnership agreement has been concluded with the GIZ Programme “Promoting the economy and employment in Rwanda”, which will be handling all administrative requirements and assist with the activities related to this contract.




Global agricultural supply chains tend to be opaque. The end-product on retailers’ shelves does not reveal its social and environmental impact at origin, including the profit share received by the farmers themselves. Improved transparency is not only increasingly asked for by end-consumers and due-diligence legislation but is also crucial for all intermediary actors in the supply chain to manage reputational risks and a more efficient supply chain. At the other end of the chain, access to information about production processes, quality parameters, product and financial flows, can enable farmers to make more informed decisions and gain higher revenues in the long run.

As part of a former commission, the GIZ has collaborated with several partners to develop an open-source blockchain-based track and trace system called INATrace. For example, the system has successfully been implemented for a coffee supply chain of a Rwandan coffee brand. It includes a business-to-business (B2B) data input and tracing web app for different actors along the value chain linked to a Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform as well as a business-to-customer (B2C) solution for end-customers in Germany that links a portion of the data stored on the blockchain to additional media content that can be accessed by scanning a QR code on the coffee package (Check sample QR code here).

The project has been carried out in adherence to the Principles for Digital Development, in particular by applying an open-source and user-centric approach. All the source code generated has been published under a GNU AGPL-3.0 license on GitHub.

As a first use case, the technology has been introduced in 2020 by two women associations who produce Angelique’s Finest coffee in Rwanda in partnership with the International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA), Rwanda chapter. The coffee pilot has been successful and GIZ is considering expanding it in Rwanda with other value chains like Macadamia.

It is in this framework of expansion and sustainability of the platform, GIZ is looking for a consulting company to express their interest to support the further development of INATrace in Rwanda.

The purpose of this assignment is to provide technical support on further development of INATrace in Rwanda, in close cooperation with the IT company contracted to program and maintain the INATrace software. The consulting company shall provide the following services:

Work package 1: Supply chain mapping

During the duration of the assignment INATrace will be scaled in Rwanda for other crops on top of coffee such as macadamia. After familiarization with INATrace, the contractor will support the users of INATrace, partners and the GIZ-team in the assessment of local supply chain structures in very close collaboration with the cooperatives. Several field visits are required to conduct this task to ensure the most comprehensive outline of the respective supply chain.

Work package 2: System configuration based on findings from WP1

The contractor will transfer the findings from the supply chain mapping (WP1) to INATrace. The contractor is responsible for:

  • Setting-up accounts for all users
  • Adding supply chain actors to the system
  • Configuration support for the company settings (facilities, (semi)-products, processing evidence fields/documents, etc.)
  • Oversight and check of successful implementation in the system

These steps should be conducted and documented in close collaboration with the partners and the GIZ-team to guarantee a sufficient knowledge transfer. Written documentation will be provided to GIZ to ensure continuous guidance on the setting-up processes for future projects and their supply chain integration to INATrace.

  • Assessment and documentation of existing supply chain structures and processes as well as financial flows, including obtaining exemplary documentation for the processes to be digitized
  • Integration of the existing workflows into the technical development




Work package 3: Support capacity building

To ensure the best possible use of INATrace, all users need to be trained in using the system. Through previous projects, some users have already been familiarised with or trained in the system. Appropriate capacity building material has already been developed and is currently being reviewed in very close collaboration with projects in line with technical and GUI adaptations. Using a train-the-trainer approach, some locations still have qualified trainers available and in order to ensure a long-term use, the train-the-trainer concept will be further developed. Given the product differences and the scaling of activities for INATrace, it might be needed to onboard more and new local trainers.

The contractor is responsible for:

  • Assessment of the required needs for additional capacities of the cooperatives
  • Support in connecting trainer(s) with cooperatives
  • Adaptation of the capacity building material in English and Kinyarwanda.
  • Further develop the train-the-trainer concept
  • Documentation of capacity building and system feedback by users throughout the process
  • Onboard new local trainers on INATrace and onboarding and integration of local consultants to the system and the processes
  • Conduction of capacity building for different actors, including:
  • Cooperative staff
  • International buyers/roasters
  • Additional users along the supply chains
  • Support the base-data preparation to be entered to INATrace
  • Planning and monitoring of the necessary capacity building activities

Work package 4: Support the IT-Team

The contractor will act as a focal point/backstopped between the IT developers and through close collaboration support the IT-team with implementing INATrace adaptations. Accordingly, the trainings need to be aligned with these potential system changes to ensure the most efficient use of INATrace for all users.

The contractor is responsible for:

  • Recommendations for technical improvements and adaptations based on the feedback from users as well as other projects where INATrace will be provided. Therefore, an exchange with previous project partners and developers is essential
  • Documentation of updates for IT developers and GIZ-Team

Work package 5: Ensure Knowledge Transfer

To ensure that INATrace can be applied in a community and used as a digital public good, comprehensive documentation of all steps is required. The contractor will prepare manuals (English, Kinyarwanda, etc.) to describe the methodology of all work-packages and ensure the best possible documentation of all conducted processes and feedbacks for the understanding of all actors and partners (i.e. IT, GIZ). This includes step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a supply chain mapping, and how to customize INATrace in a new country or for a new product.

Work package 6: Support the development of a business model

Support in the development of a long-term business model for INATrace as a digital public good in close collaboration with partners and consultants. The main task is here to support the GIZ-Team and partners with relevant information and input from the field.

Work package 7: Identify new potential user

The goal is also to onboard new users. The contractor is responsible for the identification and onboarding of new potential INATrace users.

All training sessions and follow up visits will be conducted in Rwanda, mainly in Rwamagana, Gakenke, Muhanga, Huye and Rusizi districts where the INATrace project is currently implemented.

Partner organizations of INATrace will support the contractor in coordination of the training sessions including organizing, inviting participants and attendance records management.

Introduction

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. GIZ has worked in Rwanda for over 30 years. The primary objectives between the Government of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany are poverty reduction and promotion of sustainable development. To achieve these objectives, GIZ Rwanda is active in the sectors of Decentralization and Good Governance, Economic Development and Employment Promotion, Energy, and ICT (Information and Communications Technology). The GIZ project “Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development” (DSSD) has a mandate to advise Rwandan institutions on the implementation of the Smart Rwanda Master Plan (2016-2020) and its priority projects. The project also aims to promote the development of digital solutions in collaboration with sector ministries, local and international private companies, research institutions and civil society.

The Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development project entered a new phase in 2021. In addition to digital solutions that are being developed together with the Rwandan partner authorities, more vulnerable groups such as the rural population, women and people with disabilities are to be involved in the digital transformation in line with the approach Leave no one behind. One of the project objectives is designed to develop initiatives to promote digital participation in collaboration between public and private stakeholders. The assumption here is those digital skills, combined with target-group-specific digital services, will enable a large proportion of the population to be part of the digital transformation and use these services. To reach the target groups effectively, use leveraging effects and develop user-centric services, stronger cooperation between public and private actors is being promoted. This will contribute to develop and offer services in a systematic and coordinated manner.

Context

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. GIZ has worked in Rwanda for over 30 years. The primary objectives between the Government of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany are poverty reduction and promotion of sustainable development. To achieve these objectives, GIZ Rwanda is active in the sectors of Decentralization and Good Governance, Economic Development and Employment Promotion, Energy, and ICT (Information and Communications Technology). The GIZ project “Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development” (DSSD) has a mandate to advise Rwandan institutions on the implementation of the Smart Rwanda Master Plan (2016-2020) and its priority projects. The project also aims to promote the development of digital solutions in collaboration with sector ministries, local and international private companies, research institutions and civil society.

The Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development project entered a new phase in 2021. In addition to digital solutions that are being developed together with the Rwandan partner authorities. One of the project objectives is designed to develop initiatives to promote digital participation in collaboration between public and private stakeholders. The assumption here is that digital skills, combined with target-group-specific digital services, will enable a large proportion of the population to be part of the digital transformation and use these services.
