Brief description of DUHAMIC-ADRI DUHAMIC -ADRI is a non-profit organization located in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, in Kicukiro District, Niboye Sector. Officially operating in Rwanda since 12th July 1985. Mission: Supporting integrated initiatives for Holistic Development of Rural Population in their struggle for self-reliance Vision: A rural world responsible for its self-socio-economic development Core Values: Integrity, Professionalism, Transparency 2. Project Background The Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM) Centre in Gashora, Bugesera District, is a humanitarian protection facility established in September 2019 through a tripartite partnership between the Government of Rwanda, the African Union (AU), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The Centre provides temporary protection, assistance, and essential services to vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers evacuated from precarious and life-threatening situations, while durable solutions, including resettlement and other pathways, are pursued. As of May 2026, the Gashora ETM Centre was hosting 396 asylum seekers, including men, women, and children, originating from Sudan (244), Eritrea (87), Ethiopia (31), Somalia (16), and South Sudan (18), against an installed capacity of 700 persons. The nationality and demographic composition of the Centres population changes over time in response to evolving displacement dynamics and onward movements. Asylum seekers generally remain at the Centre for approximately six to twelve months before pursuing onward movement through available durable solutions. The Centre is situated on a 32-hectare site, of which approximately 24 hectares are arable and suitable for agricultural production. Currently, this land is cultivated by approximately 250 smallholder farmers from vulnerable households in the neighboring host community, with each farmer cultivating an individual plot of approximately 520 ares. Despite the availability of arable land and proximity to a freshwater source, Lake Milayi, agricultural production remains predominantly subsistence-oriented, rain-fed, and characterized by low levels of productivity, diversification, and value addition. At the same time, asylum seekers residing at the Centre have limited opportunities to participate in productive livelihood activities and to develop practical skills that could contribute to their well-being during their stay. This situation presents an opportunity to strengthen the productive use of the Centres available agricultural resources while promoting greater self-reliance, skills development, food and nutrition security, and livelihood opportunities for asylum seekers and vulnerable members of the host community. Improved and diversified agricultural production could also contribute to increasing the availability of fresh, nutritious foods within the Centre, while creating opportunities for practical learning and income-generating activities. 3. Rationale of the tender DUHAMIC-ADRI intends to procure, install, and test mobile solar-powered irrigation equipment with battery storage to support reliable, climate-smart agricultural production at the ETM Gashora Centre in Bugesera District.
