Today, the Minister of Local Government, @Dominiquehab, officially opened the Government–Civil Society Dialogue. Held under the theme, “Strengthening Collaboration between Government and Civil Society for Sustainable NST2 and Vision 2050 Outcomes,” the forum serves as a strategic platform to reinforce institutional partnerships for national development.

Minister Habimana commended Rwanda’s remarkable socio-economic progress over the last 32 years. He attributed these achievements to the enduring partnership between the Government and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), guided by an inclusive leadership that actively values the contributions of all stakeholders.

The Minister underscored the vital role of institutionalized platforms in driving impactful governance. He highlighted the Joint Action Development Forum (JADF) at the local government level, alongside Technical and Sector Working Groups at the national level, as central mechanisms ensuring that developmental programs translate into tangible transformations in citizen welfare.

“The mandate of Civil Society extends far beyond the co-design of national aspirations; it is fundamentally rooted in their active realization. Today’s dialogue offers a timely opportunity to evaluate our shared progress, strengthen strategic alignment, and renew our collective commitment to Rwanda’s developmental milestones”, he said.

Minister Habimana urged Civil Society Organizations to further align and advance their interventions with pressing grassroots priorities. He called for an intensified, collaborative focus on critical socio-economic challenges, including eradicating malnutrition, combating gender-based violence, and upgrading community hygiene and sanitation standards.
