(iii) Constraints or value-chain limitations that currently inhibit any of the above from being achieved in Rwanda, as necessary.
2. Co-designing an appropriate strategy to help Rwanda develop the required vaccine manufacturing competencies for execution and prioritize project roll-out activities accordingly after comparing different strategies and selecting the best and the most feasible one.
