🎊Great news: Rwanda’s new Data Sharing Policy has been approved!

This means public institutions will soon be able to share data more easily, safely, and efficiently. In the coming weeks, we’ll share how it works, why it matters, and what to expect.

Let’s continue building a Rwanda where data strengthens governance and supports decisions that put citizens first.
