Rwanda has registered consistent improvement in different governance and development sectors, according to the Rwanda Governance Scorecard (RGS) 2016.
The RGS fourth edition launched yesterday at the Kigali Convention Centre indicates that compared to the 2014 edition, six out of eight major indicators have recorded higher scores while only two presented slight decline.
RGS is an annual publication seeking to gauge the state of governance in the country.
It is a comprehensive governance assessment based on primary and secondary data drawn from over 200 questions.
While launching the 2016 RGS, Prime Minister Anastase Murekezi said it has become a governance mirror that scientifically describes the country’s governance performance.
“RGS is a unique assessment tool based on locally generated data like citizen satisfaction surveys. It helps us to understand Rwandan 2016 state of governance and what we need to do to achieve more good results,” the Premier said.
The findings of last year’s Governance Scorecard show that three best performer’s indicators of the RGS2016 scored over 80% with Safety and Security leading with 92.62%, closely followed by Control of Corruption, Transparency and Accountability standing at 86.56% as well as Political Rights and Civil liberties which scored 81.83%.
Other indicators recorded moderate scores: Rule of Law, 79.68%, Economic and Corporate Governance, 76.82%, Participation and Inclusiveness, 76.48%, Investing in Human and Social Development, 74.88% while the Quality of service delivery comes last with 72.93%.
