Convening for the 15th time, the retreat has attracted over 300 leaders that will discuss a range of issues.<\/p>\n

Among the issues to be discussed are the assessment of progress towards sustainable development; foundations for sustainable development; industrial sector development; Urban development, economic development; education as the pillar of knowledge based economy, health services development and Rwanda\u2019s position in Africa and International level.<\/p>\n

Speaking to IGIHE, the State Minister in charge of Economic Planning in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN), Dr. Uzziel Ndagijimana said that the retreat comes at a time when stakeholders will be discussing the recently unveiled seven-year government programme.<\/p>\n

This is the first retreat since the new cabinet was named following last year\u2019s presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we observe different retreats in the past 14 years, good strides are being made towards implementing resolutions. Last year\u2019s resolutions were implemented remarkably and the report will be discussed in this retreat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis retreat will assess economic development, people\u2019s welfare, governance among others, but measures will be taken to fast-track the implementation of seven-year government programme,\u201d Ndagijimana added.<\/p>\n

The retreat will be chaired by President Paul Kagame. The Prime Minister Dr. Eduard Ngirente will present a report on implementation of last year\u2019s retreat resolutions.<\/p>\n

The retreat is a tradition in Rwandan culture where leaders convene in a secluded place in order to reflect on issues affecting their communities to get workable solutions. <\/p>\n
