Rwanda National Police (RNP) and partners injected about Rwf2.5 billion to support community development projects across the country during the year 2022.
The community development projects were unveiled during the celebration of the 22nd “Police Month” in partnership with the Ministries of Local Government, Environment, the Local Administrative Entities Development Agency (LODA), Rwanda Energy Group (REG), Agaciro Development Fund, and National Child Development Agency (NCDA).
While addressing hundreds of Kitabi residents in Kitabi sector, the Minister of Local Government, Jean Claude Musabyimana said that the last 22 years were fruitful.
“The last 22 years have defined the safety and security that Rwandans enjoy today, and these Police socio-economic development activities are results of productive collaboration between institutions and the people,” Minister said.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dan Munyuza said that Police Month is dedicated to national development activities to improve the well-being of Rwandans and to raise awareness against crime for people in Rwanda to continue to be safe.
The project includes about 7,500 households lit with solar energy, 65 houses constructed for disadvantaged families, and 30 Early Child Development (ECD) centers, which were officially handed over to the beneficiaries on Friday, December 16.
The RNP also constructed 16 cattle spray races and provided a financial facility amounting to over Rwf35 million to cooperatives, 2000 medical insurances, and four cows.
This year’s Police Month was held under the theme “22 years of partnership in policing for sustainable transformation of Rwandan community.”
Out of 2407 households in the Southern Province, which were connected with solar energy, 459 are in Nyamagabe District. Sixteen houses and eight ECDs were also constructed in the same province.
