Speaking while presenting the outcomes, Prime Minister, Dr. Edouard Ngirente said that evaluation process considered assessing whether the contracts contributed in fast-tracking the development of the country.

He said that evaluation process was facilitated by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda.

The Minister of Local Governance, Francis Kaboneka said that last year was challenged by disasters which affected production in different districts.

“The institutions which properly implemented their targets considered corresponding their performance contracts with development activities. All concerned individuals were aware of their role in performance contracts implementation as well as understanding and monitoring implementation process of planned activities,” he explained.

On way forward, Ngirente said that they want to harmonize performance contracts planning with national priorities, collaboration among different institutions in implementation of performance contracts as well as good planning of projects before embarking on implementation process.
