Local and central government leaders will today sign new performance contracts, best known as Imihigo, with the Head of State.
The signing of the 2018/19 performance contracts will be combined with the presentation of an appraisal report from last year’s performance contracts.
The 2017/18 performance results were compiled by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) and the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR).
The statistics body said yesterday that last year’s performance results, which will be published today, are based on scientific findings and hence fact-based, independent and reliable, unlike previous evaluations that were based on observation technique and assumptions.
This is the first time that NISR is involved in the evaluation of Imihigo.
The NISR involvement is a result of last year’s request by President Paul Kagame that the evaluation of Imihigo should be conducted by institutions that can scientifically provide evidence-based results.
