The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is an independent agency that provides economic, development and humanitarian assistance around the world in support of the foreign policy goals of the United States. USAID accelerates human progress in developing countries by reducing poverty, advancing democracy, building market economies, promoting security, responding to crises, and improving quality of life. Working with governments, institutions and civil society, USAID assists individuals to build their own futures by mobilizing the full range of America’s public and private resources through our expert presence overseas.

How can I receive funding from USAID/Rwanda? | top of page
The majority of USAID's work is done through organizations selected by a competitive procurement process in keeping with the U.S. Government's procurement policy. Activities for which implementers are sought are designed specifically to achieve U.S. assistance objectives laid out in the U.S. Assistance Strategies, available elsewhere on this web site. Procurement opportunities are listed on USAID's website, and interested parties can sign up to be notified of new procurements via e-mail. Infrequently and under limited circumstances, unsolicited proposals are funded.
