Introduction
Caritas Rwanda is non-profit organization officially registered, with the mission to assist people in needs and foster for the whole human being. Caritas Rwanda has more than 60 years of working experience in building poor families’ resiliency through development, social welfare and health interventions. Caritas Rwanda is an equal opportunity organization, looking for competencies without any discrimination
Caritas Rwanda signed a framework agreement with Rwanda Biomedical Centre for the implementation of a Belgium funded project through its development agency (ENABEL). The project aims at ensuring that all women, new-born, children, adolescents, and men have universal access to quality integrated Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) and/or Family Planning & Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health (FP/ASRH) services. Specifically, Caritas Rwanda agreed on with RBC to implement FP interventions through three different components:
• Increased demand for family planning services for Rwandan population aged of 15-49 years through awareness raising and community engagement.
• Improved availability and accessibility of quality family planning services through strengthened referral systems.
• Improved family planning quality services and satisfaction of users through provider- community partnership committees.
All these project components were proposed to tackle the FP issues linked with low uptake of family planning among catholic co-managed health facilities including the catchment communities. One of key strategies recommended in the needs assessments carried to assess the inhibiting factors for the increase of family planning uptake in Catholic Co-managed health facilities and their catchment communities was the lack of information on Family Planning by the communities.
It is from this background that Caritas Rwanda would like to hire a company to produce radio drama sketches with messages to raise awareness on family planning in Districts with low uptake rate of Family Planning (Nyarugenge, Kicukiro, Karongi, Gasabo, Ngoma, Bugesera, Nyamasheke, Nyaruguru, Nyamagabe, Kamonyi, Rusizi and Rutsiro).
