For Irembo management, this year’s Rwanda Day will provide a momentous occasion to support the Rwandan community abroad in accessing government services that are offered on its USSD and web-based platform IremboGov, according to a statement announcing their participation in the two-day event.
"Irembo's primary objective in participating in Rwanda Day is to extend support to the Rwandan Diaspora in navigating various IremboGov services applications and resolving any pending issues on services, including but not limited to identification, passport application, marriage declaration,” the statement reads in part.
"By facilitating access to these essential services, we aim to streamline the experience for our Diaspora community, enabling them to engage seamlessly with governmental processes from afar.”
