Rwanda forms economic policy research network

To improve development, Rwanda must make use of the dynamic platform linking research with public policy, said National Institute of Statistics Director General Louis Munyakazi. “To accelerate economic growth and social development, it is paramount to generate knowledge based on strong evidence that allows policy makers to make informed decisions,” said Dr. Munyakazi in a speech on July 8 at the Hotel Umubano Novotel, announcing a new policy analysis and research network under the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR-Rwanda).
