Good governance is the foundation of peace and sustainable development. We firmly believe that without good governance, sustainable development is unachievable. Good governance is only possible if it is underpinned by democratic principles.
\n\nWe are determined to strengthen the foundations of democracy so that every Rwandan can enjoy his or her rights and freedoms, develop and flourish in their private lives, regardless of their political, religious, sexual and ethnic background.
\n\nRwandans should be free and equal in dignity and rights. They should be protected in the same way by law; social equity and equal opportunity will be guaranteed to everyone without distinction. It is good governance that will achieve effective reconciliation and put an end to the cyclical problem of Rwandan refugee that has become structural.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Education is a tool for emancipation and social justice. All children in Rwanda must have equal opportunity to access good quality education and training for the intellectual, moral and physical development and to actively participate in the development of the country, without any discrimination whatsoever, regardless of their regional or social background or their belief.<\/p>

Give due value to the work of the teacher by:<\/p>

i) Ensuring continuing professional training and refresher courses<\/p>

ii)Giving him\/her a salary that allows him\/her to have a decent standard of life<\/p>

iii)Being appreciated for his word and rewarded where and when appropriate for his\/her work;<\/p>

\u00a0iv) To work reasonable hours that allow him to have time for his\/her family<\/p>

Providing quality education<\/p>

i) The state must guarantee free education up to secondary school level. This will enable all children to benefit from education and training that will equip them to with professional know-how that allows them to attain their economic wellbeing.<\/p>

ii) Students must have qualified and competent teachers, as well as appropriate equipment and teaching materials.<\/p>

iii) Every child needs to be advised in their studies and guided according to their potential and abilities<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Economic development is not possible if the population is not in good physical and mental health.<\/p>

Health: Every Rwandan has the right to receive health care they need.\u00a0 Their economic situation should not constitute a constraint. Even the poor are entitled to health services. The State must ensure that pharmacies and medical services serve the population. The patient’s income level should not be an obstacle to get medical care.<\/p>

Health service workers must be valued and receive a salary and allowances commensurate with the hard conditions of their work. They must be given rest periods or compensatory leave in order for them to be able to render their services effectively.<\/p>

Mental health: We will provide appropriate assistance to traumatized people. The number of traumatized people is increasing steadily because of the difficult times the country has been through and the tragic consequences that have ensued.<\/p>

We will make a special effort to rescue young people with mental problems who become slaves to narcotics because of the desperation associated with structural unemployment.\u00a0<\/p>

Family Planning: We will encourage and provide services to Rwandans to carry out responsible family planning so that each family controls or regulates births responsibly and best suited to their resources. Maternity and children are entitled to special assistance and\u00a0 educational capacities<\/p>

Freedom of entrepreneurship is a fundamental economic right. Every Rwandan should be free to undertake an economic activity that best meets their aspirations for economic development. On this issue, we reaffirm that private property is inviolable. Regulation of entrepreneurship must be transparent and should not be an obstacle or a handicap to this fundamental freedom.<\/p>

Freedom of entrepreneurship will help to generate adequate income to can sustain families. No person or legislation should compel or limit the economic choice of a company.<\/p>

To reduce youth unemployment, we will set up youth support centres to help them initiate and undertake economic activities and businesses.<\/p>

The agricultural<\/strong> sector employs a large number of Rwandans who earn a living from their agricultural production. Given the fragmentation and degradation of family farm plots, the small farmer should not be forced to cultivate a particular crop. They should not have to pay property tax on the reduced land that supports their needs and survival.<\/p>

A small trader:<\/strong> with a turnover of fewer than 5 million frws, Rwandans must be able to carry out their activities exempt from income taxes, without any hindrance, to allow them to develop. Those with higher capital income will be encouraged to invest in the areas of their choices in order to support the state in its sustainable development programme.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Employment or occupation is the source of the income needed to live or meet the economic needs of one’s family. It is, therefore, necessary that remuneration is fair and satisfactory in order to ensure that the employee and their family have a standard of living that takes into account human dignity.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
