Background
The Ministry of Agriculture and animal resources is committed to ensuring that every farmer can access a wide range of financial, advisory, and support services tailored to their specific needs. To achieve this, it has become essential to digitalize several key components that directly connect to farmers, enabling all participants in the agricultural ecosystem to access accurate farmer information and design personalized, high-impact programs.
The identified farmer-facing components currently being digitalized include:
- Food Basket Sites Management
- Livestock & Animal Resources Management & Health Card
- Livestock Insurance
- Veterinarians & Agronomists Registration and Licensing
- Dairy Value Chain
- Crop Recommendations
- Pest and Disease Control
- Farm Services (including e-Extension and weather services)
- Farm Credit Management
- MIS Reporting and Analytics
- Market Linkage (including Crop Insurance)
- Farm Inputs and Subsidy Management
- Export Crops Value Chain
- AMIS Financials
Through the digitalization of these components, AMIS places the farmer at the center of Rwanda’s agricultural digital ecosystem—ensuring that every service, data exchange, and innovation revolves around improving the farmer’s livelihood. The platform will enable farmers to easily access financial services, tailored advisory support, market opportunities, and input subsidies, empowering them to build more resilient, productive, and profitable enterprises.
At the same time, AMIS will create shared value across the agricultural ecosystem by unlocking reliable, real-time data and collaboration among key stakeholders:
- Development Partners:
- Harness data-driven insights to design impactful agricultural programs.
- Identify targeted investment and innovation opportunities.
- Strengthen research, monitoring, and evaluation of interventions.
- Private Sector:
- Improve supply chain efficiency and transparency from farm to market.
- Innovate new products and services tailored to farmer needs.
- Expand access to inclusive financial and insurance solutions.
- Government:
- Deliver stronger, data-informed agricultural extension services.
- Promote sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural development.
- Enable evidence-based policymaking through real-time analytics and integrated systems.
Objective of the assignment
The objective of this assignment is to engage a qualified firm to support and strengthen the AMIS development team in ensuring that AMIS is fully aligned with Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) standards and principles as outlined in Section 4 (About DPI). The work will be organized into two complementary work packages under the framework agreement:
Work Package 1: Rwanda DPI Guidelines developing national DPI principles, standards, and compliance guidelines (Rwanda Stack) to serve as a reference for AMIS and other government systems.
Work Package 2: AMIS Assessment and Recommendations conducting a comprehensive review of the AMIS architecture, identifying gaps, and designing a roadmap to bring AMIS into full compliance with DPI principles.
These two work packages will be carried out in parallel, with each supported by a dedicated team of experts. While the teams will work separately on their respective focus areas, they must align continuously to ensure coherence and harmony between the Rwanda DPI guidelines and the AMIS-specific recommendations.
