Award of Public Sector Reform Technical Assistance Facility to DAI Global Health Limited for Rwanda SPARC Programme

About

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office awarded a contract to DAI Global Health Limited for the management and implementation of the public sector governance component of the Strengthening Public Financial Management and Revenue Collection in Rwanda (SPARC) programme.

The contract, valued at £5,000,000, involves developing and managing a platform to provide long and short-term technical assistance to central and local government institutions.

The facility supports the Government of Rwanda's efforts to increase growth, reduce poverty, and improve human capital development outcomes, with a focus on improving public sector capacity for complex 'second generation' reforms.

Key intermediate outcomes include improved coordination across government, reforms in the imihigo performance contract system, mechanisms for incorporating citizen feedback into policies and budgets, improvements in government policy in economic and social sectors, and measurable changes in local government autonomy and accountability.
