Rwanda:"Programme for strenghtening Good Governance"
Description of project
This project aims at strengthening accountability and responsiveness of key state players for delivering the EDPRS objectives. It is also meant to enhance effectiveness and capacities of key national institutions, mandated to promote state accountability and responsiveness”. The project is built around a shared agenda between the Government of Rwanda, DFID and UNDP giving weight to the need for good governance – in particular in the development of a responsive and accountable state , a state which enters into a social contract with its citizens, listens to citizens' voice, allows itself to be held accountable for the way in which it develops its policies and delivers its services, and a state which protects and upholds the rights of all. The basic assumption is that good governance is central to the development process, and that it needs state capability, responsiveness and accountability as prerequisites.
