Ngirente acknowledged that the report’s publication is especially timely. “After six years, and amid numerous global, regional, and domestic challenges, this analysis is both needed and welcome,” he said, explaining that the report’s insights have already begun to inform Rwanda’s strategies, with several recommendations incorporated into the second National Strategy for Transformation (NST2). The Premier commended the World Bank Group for its longstanding partnership with the government. “Your strong collaboration and constructive feedback have been invaluable,” he said, adding that the government remains committed to accountability, responsibility, and results.
