RFI for Solar-Powered or Wind-Up Radios/Mp3 Players
- This RFI had a pre-bid event.
- This RFI was uploaded by the owner.
The purpose of this RFI is to invite prospective offerors to submit specification sheets for solar-powered or wind-up radio receivers and Mp3 players. EDC pioneered the use of radio to bring curriculum and teacher training to classrooms in some of the world's least-developed countries. Throughout Africa, Asia and South America, radio has been a tremendous resource for learning and dissemination. Our popular method, called Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI), requires a radio and an adult facilitator and reaches large numbers of teachers and learners who are isolated by distance and poor infrastructure. It can be used in almost any setting, from formal classrooms to community learning centers to outdoor venues. EDC seeks a new radio model, either off-the-shelf or an emerging technology, that can be used in developing countries to provide quality audio of our programs in resource-lean environments.
