Statement by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda
KIGALI, 3 November 2015
The claims made about the integrity of Rwanda’s official development statistics by anonymous sources in a France 24 article of 2 November 2015 are fundamentally wrong.
The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) and its stakeholders and partners from One UN have initiated a program to strengthen Civil Registration and Vital Statistics system in Rwanda. It is a crucial exercise for civil rights and availing population statistics.
Establishment Census is a valuable source of information on all economic activities, number of employed and size of establishments in Rwanda. The methodology of complete counting of every operating establishment that has a fixed location and is practicing a specific economic activity within the boundaries of the city included in the enumeration areas was used. And since the Establishment Census usually covers all regions in Rwanda, the "2014 Establishment Census" covered all 30 districts.
