REQUEST FOR QUOTATION - PROVISION OF HORTICULTURE VALUE CHAIN SERVICES UNDER A FRAMEWORK CONTRACT

AWF BACKGROUND.

African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is an international NGO working across the continent of Africa, developing African conservation leadership and implementing programs that focus on safeguarding areas of high conservation value through a holistic suite of programs that conserve wildlife, protect land, improve the lives of local people and leverage conservation enterprises to promote sustainable economic growth that does not come at the expense of Africa's natural heritage.

AWF is proud to have partnered with the Government of Rwanda (GOR) and people living in the Virunga for more than four decades resulting in increasing populations of endangered mountain gorillas and improved human livelihoods starting in 1981 when we co-founded the Mountain Gorilla Project (MGP). For a decade we worked with MGP in Rwanda and in 1991, with partners, AWF expanded this program to a transboundary conservation initiative by creating the International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP).
