Immigration Department – a job well done

Rwanda’s Immigration department has been one of the country’s unsung heroes for quite some time. While they are not at the forefront showcasing the crucial role they play in national development, their work is undeniably a pillar for Rwanda’s progress. On Wednesday, the Immigration department was pronounced the winner of the 2009 African Association for Public Administration and Management (AAPAM) Award after having submitted its innovative Online Visa Application for the contest. Amid the World economic crisis, African Governments had to re-examine the efficacy, readiness and appropriateness of their regulatory institutions.
