The Umushyikirano attracted local and central government leaders, representatives of private sector, civil society, religious groups, as well as members the diplomatic corps and the Rwandan Diaspora.
In his closing remarks, President Paul Kagame noted that the Dialogue provided a platform for Rwandans to engage with their leaders about how to consolidate the country’s progress as well as addressing the existing challenges.
Among the resolutions was the signing of Performance contracts (Imihigo) among senior government officials.
Cabinet ministers will sign the Imihigo with the President of the Republic ambassadors and high commissioners representing Rwanda in different countries signing contracts with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.
It was taken due to observation of how instrumental Imihigo played a big role in attaining most of targets and activities as a sign to enhance efficiency, public transparency and accountability.
This was forwarded by someone from Diaspora in US, saying that it is important for ambassadors to make commitments and be accountable to the people they represent.
In this year’s Umushyikirano attracted millions of people participating both in the country and outside in a very interactive dialogue ever through Facebook, phone lines, Twitter and live on both Rwanda Television and Rwanda Radio.
