## What the grant funds

In Rwanda, some political parties face challenges to inform voters about their values, priorities, and policy prescriptions. This is particularly true in isolated, rural areas. To address this systemic deficiency in the runup to 2024 elections, the proposed activity should build a platform for all registered political parties to articulate their policies, values, and priorities. The implementor should promote this platform to increase its reach and relevance. The implementor should also organize a series of radio programs, town halls, and candidates’ forums for voters to engage with leaders and candidates on key issues within a set and realistic timeframe in the leadup to the 2024 elections. The program must operate in no less than five and no more than 10 of Rwanda’s 30 districts. Applicants should indicate which districts they would select and why.
