Rwanda Governance Board (RGB)’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Ambassador Fatuma Ndangiza, has said Nyaruguru has achieved significant progress owed to good governance Practices.
Ndangiza made the remarks during her tour of different development programmes in the district as part of the country’s annual good governance month launched January 22 and set to end on March 15.
She added that Famine which was affecting residents in Nyaruguru has been eradicated.
The District’s economy relies on agriculture and animal husbandry.
Although Agriculture and animal husbandry are practiced according to traditional methods, the District officials said residents are adapting to modern farming practices expected to improve within 2nd Phase of Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS).
Residents in Nyaruguru also grow industrial crops such as coffee and tea, and even subsistence crops such as wheat, potatoes, sorghum, bean, vegetables and fruits.
According to Nyaruguru’s Mayor, François Habitegeko, “good governance normally means development”.
This mentality, he says, has been shaping the district over the last few years with a special focus on developing rural areas of the district.
