🎉 Let's begin this week with celebration!

🚨Last week, we received the Innovative Project for Impact Award at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 for our AI-Assisted Coding of Multilingual Job Descriptions for Faster Employment Statistics.

➡️The AI-powered tool classifies job and economic activity descriptions in Kinyarwanda, English, and French, significantly speeding up the production of Labour Force Survey statistics and strengthening the efficiency of official statistics production.

The project, developed under the first cohort of the Data Science Capacity Building Initiative (#DSCBI), delivered in collaboration with @RwandaICT, @AIMS_Rwanda, @Mastercard, @cenfri_org, and @RISARwanda, is a testament to the visionary leadership of Government of #Rwanda and reflects NISR's commitment to harnessing artificial intelligence to strengthen the production of official statistics.
