REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

1. Introduction and Background
RDB/IT through the eRwanda Project has committed funds to champion an ICT awareness campaign alongside the country. The Government is investing a lot of funds in ICT4D projects with a vision of championing socio – economic development and bettering of every Rwandan’s livelihood using ICT. However, it is unfortunate that the citizens for whom the ICT pro development projects are meant barely know about them and some who know are intimidated by technology, leading to the well intentioned initiatives going to waste or being underutilized.
If the dream of transforming Rwanda into a knowledge based economy is to be realised, it is high time we changed the mind sets of people especially in rural Rwanda. This can only be done if ICT is demystified. The eRwanda project will engage the public in a massive ICT4D campaign where the advantage of adopting ICTs will be clearly elaborated to Rwandans from all walks of life.

2. Objective of the Assignment

The main objective of the Radio campaign is to demystify ICT and create new interest in the field and encourage ICT entrepreneurship and creativity among the Rwandan Population.
