Expression of Interest (EOI): Supply construction materials

Reference number: 91189134

Background

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. The GIZ Office in Kigali covers GIZ’s portfolio in Rwanda and Burundi. GIZ Rwanda/Burundi implements projects on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the European Union and other commissioning authorities in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development; Good Governance; Climate, Energy and Sustainable Urban Development; Digitalization and Digital Economy; and regional projects in the Great Lakes Region.

The Energising Development (EnDev) Programme is a global flagship initiative promoting energy access—including clean and efficient cooking solutions (stoves and fuels)—in over 20 countries worldwide, including Rwanda. Achieving universal access to modern energy, particularly for cooking, requires more than just technology deployment. It demands the development of sustainable markets and profitable, scalable business models. For this reason, EnDev works in close collaboration with the private sector, recognizing its critical role in delivering lasting, consumer-driven solutions and driving innovation across the value chain.

In Rwanda, the Reducing the Climate Impact of Cooking (ReCIC) initiative is a five-year programme co-financed by the European Union and the German government and implemented under the framework of EnDev. ReCIC is designed to contribute to the development of a vibrant, sustainable clean cooking market. The programme supports the private sector in achieving ambitious project targets, including enabling the sale of 500,000 improved cookstoves, increasing local production capacity to 200,000 stoves by 2025, and ensuring the sustainable supply and distribution of alternative fuels such as briquettes and pellets.
