About DevInfoRwanda |
DevInfoRwanda is a tool for tracking the progress of the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Rwanda.
DevInfoRwanda is designed to be a one-stop shop for Rwanda Official Statistics on EDPRS and MDGs. It is being implemented to complement the existing databases of the NISR and bridge data dissemination gaps. The system will be continually updated as new data becomes available.
DevinfoRwanda has been developed with the support from UNICEF – Rwanda.
DevInfoRwanda has two components, the website and the database. The website is developed using Drupal – a Free and Open Source Content Management System and the database is an adaptation of DevInfo (version 6.0) – a United Nations endorsed database system. The data contained in the database pertains to EDPRS and MDGs in Rwanda.

About EDPRS |
In 2002, Rwanda published the first Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) covering the period up to 2005. The PRSP was developed in a post-conflict context and the primary emphasis was on managing a transitional period of rehabilitation and reconstruction.
In 2008, Rwanda published the second poverty reduction strategy, the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) is intended to cover the period 2008 to 2012 and is focused on economic growth, poverty reduction and human development.
Basically, it provides a medium term framework for achieving the country’s long term development aspirations as embodied in Rwanda Vision 2020, the seven year Government of Rwanda (GoR) programme, and the Millennium Development Goals.
In order to know whether the EDPRS is achieving its objectives, policy makers must be able to monitor progress and evaluate the impact of key public actions. In this context, DevInfoRwanda facilitates the monitoring of the indicators as specified in the EDPRS.

About MDGs |
In September 2000, the largest-ever gathering of world leaders ushered in the new millennium by adopting the Millennium Declaration. The Declaration, endorsed by 189 countries, was then translated into a roadmap setting out goals to be reached by 2015.
The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) build on agreements made at United Nations conferences in the 1990s and represent commitments by all countries to reduce poverty and hunger, and to tackle ill-health, gender inequality, lack of education, lack of access to clean water and environmental degradation.
The MDGs are framed as a compact, which recognizes both the efforts that must be undertaken by developing countries, and the contribution that developed countries can make through trade, development assistance, debt relief, access to essential medicines and technology transfer.
Rwanda has made remarkable progress, despite the genocide of 1994 and its devastating effects. The Government of Rwanda and its development partners are strongly committed to achieving the MDGs.
