On 30th January 2023, President Paul Kagame chaired a Cabinet Meeting at Urugwiro Village. The meeting held for the first time in 2023 made different resolutions including the resumption of the National Dialogue Council (Umushyikirano) which has been suspended for three years owing to COVID-19 related restrictions.

The next Umushyikirano is expected to be held from 27th to 28th February 2023.

Umushyikirano is Kinyarwanda’s equivalent of ‘dialogue’. During the dialogue, participants exchange ideas, share experiences, peer review and question each other. Today Umushyikirano is known as the National Dialogue Council.

As part of efforts to reconstruct Rwanda and nurture a shared national identity, the Government of Rwanda drew on aspects of Rwandan culture and traditional practices to enrich and adapt its development programs to the country’s needs and context.

The result is a set of Home Grown Solutions – culturally owned practices translated into sustainable development programs. One of these Home Grown Solutions is Umushyikirano.

Governed by the Rwandan Constitution (Article 168), Umushyikirano is a forum where participants debate issues relating to the state of the nation, the state of local government and national unity. The Office of the Prime Minister is responsible for the overall co-ordination of Umushyikirano.

Below are resolutions of the cabinet meeting:
