The objective of the overall project is an improvement of competencies of relevant Rwandan state and non-state actors for the development of a pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector in Rwanda. As the primary regulator of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector in the country, there are certain qualifications that the Rwanda FDA requires to meet international standards. These include a competent staff, pharmacovigilance mechanisms as well as a premises (infrastructure) fit to regulate the products that are produced both locally and those that are imported. One specific group of products that requires stringent regulation is pharmaceuticals, and vaccines. One of the WHO requirements to attain the Maturity Level 3 (vaccine producing) qualification is a quality control laboratory that is capable of testing all the pharmaceutical products (including vaccines) manufactured in the country. The objective of the tender published is to contract the general planner who will be responsible for the planning and quality assurance supervision of this specific construction project with its multidisciplinary design/engineering team
