We are committed to ensuring that all children and adults who come into contact with Palladium are treated with respect and are free from abuse.

Project Summary:

Palladium is implementing the Rwanda Integrated Health Systems Activity (RIHSA), a three-year USAID-funded task order (72069620F00001) designed to support the Ministry of Health (MOH) in strengthening Rwanda’s health system to provide quality health care for Rwandans while building the capacity of the Government of Rwanda (GOR) to move away from a donor-financed health system towards a self-reliant system. The Activity is implemented by a consortium led by Palladium International LLC (Palladium) in partnership with RTI International, the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA), Zenysis Technologies, and the Rwanda Agency for Accreditation and Quality of Healthcare (RAAQH). The project is aimed at achieving two major objectives:

Reduce financial barriers to health care through a mix of public and private interventions and provide tools for improved domestic resource mobilization and improve health care financing for the GOR.
Improve the quality of essential health services at national, facility, and community levels utilizing a health systems approach.

Through a focus on financing and quality, RIHSA provides technical assistance to the GOR on various strategies, tools, and approaches that will allow Rwanda to sustainably fund its healthcare system and provide quality care at all levels. Private Sector Engagement (PSE) is integral in RIHSA’s ongoing support to the health system particularly in the creation of an enabling environment for strengthening of the stewardship and participation of the private sector in meeting the increasing health needs of a growing population.

Context:

The Rwanda Healthcare Federation (RHF) is a key player in the private health sector given its advocacy and coordination role of all non-state actors in the health sector. As an umbrella organization, the RHF coordinates and represents the interests of the private health sector stakeholders including associations of healthcare providers, health NGOs, and professional associations. With support from RIHSA, RHF seeks to bolster a strong, organized private sector that has the capacity to influence policy reforms and contribute to the country’s health sector outcomes.

Since its inception in 2014, the RHF strives to serve its members while adhering to national laws and guidelines. Given the fast-growing nature of the private health sector and the need to have strong private sector coordination, the RHF seeks to strengthen its organizational capacity to effectively advocate for the interests of its members. The RHF is governed by a constitution which was signed and notarized with ten founding members, both private health sector businesses and associations. Previous attempts to register RHF as a local NGO (as per the law N°04/2012 of 17/02/2012 governing the organization and the functioning of National Non-Governmental Organizations) were not successful. This is partly attributed to mixed understanding of terminologies in defining RHF’s mandate and composition in accordance with local NGO registration regulations. The RHF leadership have largely struggled to understand the legal requirements (due to the highly technical legal language) which has resulted in back-and-forth exchanges between the RHF and the Rwanda Governance Board. As such, it was deemed fit to seek services of a professional legal expert to help the RHF understand and meet the local NGO requirements of the Rwanda Governance Board (RGB). Registration of the RHF is a top priority for the organization’s leadership and a key milestone in its organizational growth.

Objective of the Assignment:

The purpose of this assignment is to support RHF to be registered as a legal national NGO as per RGB requirements. This will involve helping the RHF to clearly understand and assemble all the legal and documentation requirements.

Scope of Work:

The scope of work for the Consultant is to:

Review and support the RHF to update its constitution
Review and support the RHF to address previous and arising registration queries raised by RGB
