Since its inception in 2006, Imihigo Performance Contracts have served as a powerful tool for driving positive change in the lives of Rwandans. These contracts, signed between government ministers, district mayors, senior executives of various Boards (parastatals), and the Head of State, are aimed at accelerating the realization of the country’s development ambitions as outlined in national strategic plans. This close alignment with national development goals, including Vision 2050, the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), underscores the interconnectedness of Imihigo with Rwanda’s broader development agenda
