The anticipated Financial Limit for the Contract until 31 March 2030 is up to PS24,125,000. This value is made up of PS13,500,000 representing the UK funding for the programme, and of approximately PS10,625,000 (CHF 11,700,000) representing the Swiss Embassy contribution. The Contract value is inclusive of all applicable taxes but exclusive of UK VAT. Upon successful delivery and subject to funding availability, there is an option to extend by up to an additional 24 months, to March 2032. The Wajibika Programme is made up of three Components: * Component 1 - Inclusive and Effective Civic Space; * Component 2 - Media Freedom Workstream; and * Component 3 - The Governance Innovation Fund.
