The programme will be held under the theme: “Rwanda Citizens with the Defence and Security Organs Celebrate Kwibohora 31 and 25 Years of Partnership with RNP.”<\/p>\n

This initiative reflects the constitutional mandate of both the RDF and RNP to contribute to Rwanda’s socio-economic development. <\/p>\n

It emphasizes the collaborative efforts that have defined the relationship between Rwanda’s security forces and its citizens over the past decades.<\/p>\n

The nationwide programme, which spans three months, will mark Rwanda\u2019s 31st anniversary of Liberation, while also celebrating 25 years of partnership between the Rwanda National Police and the citizens of Rwanda.<\/p>\n

As part of the outreach, RDF and RNP will engage in various community development activities across the country. <\/p>\n

These initiatives are set to focus on key sectors that impact the daily lives of citizens, including health, environmental protection, public infrastructure, utilities, and the construction of homes for disadvantaged families. <\/p>\n

In addition to these activities, the programme will strengthen the bonds between the security forces and the community, providing a platform for citizens to engage directly with their national protectors in practical, meaningful ways.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s initiative follows the success of similar efforts in 2024, where over 10,000 citizens benefited from health services, and a large nuber of families had their homes built or upgraded. <\/p>\n

The RDF and RNP also provided 800 livestock to improve livelihoods, as well as distributed water, electricity, and built new infrastructure. <\/p>\n

The ongoing collaboration between the security forces and communities continues to ensure that citizens receive tangible benefits from these outreach programs.<\/p>\n

The Defence and Security Citizen Outreach Programme is an important step toward enhancing human security and fostering closer ties between the security organs and the public. <\/p>\n

Through the programme, RDF and RNP aim to build upon the trust and support they have received from the people of Rwanda in their efforts to strengthen the country\u2019s security and drive its development forward. <\/p>\n

The outreach will also serve as a reflection of the country’s commitment to not only defending its borders but also ensuring the well-being of its citizens in all spheres of life.<\/p>\n
