Other delegates are; Minister of Spatial planning and Housing, Ms. Ana Paula Chantre de Carvalho and governors of the five Angolan provinces among others. <\/p>\n
Members of the delegation are in Rwanda for a field visit to learn and engage with Rwandan leaders on the decentralization policy, which is based on the Government of Rwanda\u2019s commitment to empower its people to determine their own future. <\/p>\n
The Decentralization policy has its foundations in the fundamental laws of Rwanda as well as in the political and administrative reforms the government has already implemented.<\/p>\n
The Government of Rwanda adopted a decentralization policy and a strategy for its implementation in May 2000. <\/p>\n
Rwanda’s Minister of Local Governance, Francis Kaboneka received and welcomed the delegation. He explained to them why Rwanda chose to adopt decentralization in its leadership system and the benefits the Rwandan population have got following the system adoption.<\/p>\n
Minister Kaboneka said that \u201cthe visit is a good opportunity to share the two nations’ experiences which can help both sides keep improving the population’s development and welfare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angola\u2019s Minister of Territory and State Reform, Mr. Ad\u00e3o Francisco Correia de Almeida who is the delegation head, said they chose to visit Rwanda due to both nations’ histories of wars which are almost the same.<\/p>\n
While Rwanda’s history was marked by the divisions that led to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi that claimed more than a million lives, “Angola also experienced wars and rebellions that followed its independence and ended in 2002,” as Minister Ad\u00e3o Francis said.
