The Capacity Development Fund (CDF), a partnership between the Governments of Rwanda and the UK, develops the capacity of the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) to successfully implement the Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) and achieve a quality education service. It focuses on providing support for departments, institutions and teams - at national, regional and/or district level.

Service providers will be invited to tender against a series of calls over the period 2013 to 2015. Both international and domestic suppliers, either individuals or non-state organisations, are potentially eligible to submit bids. For each assignment Terms of Reference will be issued by the Fund Manager and service providers will be selected in collaboration with DFID and the Ministry of Education.
