It was a great experience sharing my insights. Glad to see Rwanda’s data practitioners continuing the conversation and exchanging lessons from government data
Last month in Kigali we hosted a session on “Making LLMs useful: A practical application for dashboards.”
Today we have a session with Rwanda’s data practitioners who will share lessons from their work across government data systems. Watch this space for highlights.
Today, NISR signed a MoU with the Central Statistics Office of #Ireland to strengthen the use of administrative data in #Rwanda
The agreement was signed in New York by DG @ivanmurenzi and DG Jennifer Banim of @CSOIreland, marking a key step in enhancing statistical collaboration

While celebrating the World Statistics Day, in #Rwanda, we have learned that statistics are not just numbers; they are the backbone of national planning and the compass that guides both individual and institutional decision-making.
Happy #WorldStatisticsDay
A major milestone in #Rwanda’s data governance journey!
These instruments move from policy to practice—guiding how data is classified, managed, and shared securely.
Next: adoption and capacity-building across institutions.
