  • OUT NOW: Chart-Topping Artist Adekunle Gold Returns With Brand New Single “AG Baby” #rwanda #RwOT

    Already setting the mood this year with a fine display on “Something Different”, chart-topping artist Adekunle Gold brings the heat with the release of his latest single “AG Baby”.

    The Nigerian has already made major strides, becoming a vanguard of the Afropop sound with his unique disposition and unmistakable voice.

    His newest single “AG Baby”, featuring Trinidadian artist Nailah Blackman, is another brilliant melding of sounds, bringing authentic Afro grooves, infectious rhythms, and sprinkles of pop influences.

    Adekunle channels charisma and confidence to the alluring sounds of the saxophone on the July 17th release, undoubtedly proving “AG Baby” to be another stellar release.

    Transcending from an African household name to a reputable global force, Adekunle Gold has seen incredible success to date, with his 2016 debut album “Gold” entering the Billboard World Album chart at #7 and the sophomore “About 30”, going onto make the consideration list for the 2019 Grammy Awards category, Best World Album.

    Capturing audiences as he continues to push creative boundaries with his art, the award-winning artist continues to receive support from key tastemakers to date incl. NOTION, BILLBOARD, OKAYAFRICA, NATIVE MAGAZINE, and COMPLEX.

     As he continues to tease his forthcoming project ‘Afro Pop Vol. 1’ with the strong intent he plans to continue, Adekunle Gold’s influential presence in the scene is certainly one to be celebrated.

  • President Magufuli Denies Providing Support To Officials Seeking Parliamentary Seats #rwanda #RwOT

    Tanzanian President John Magufuli on Thursday denied reports that he has promised to provide support to some officials seeking nomination for the parliamentary race on the ticket of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party.

    “I have not asked anybody to vie for parliamentary seats. If there are people claiming that I have promised them my support they are liars,” said Magufuli, who doubles as national chairman of the ruling party.

    He made the denial following reports, that the president had asked some officials to collect the nomination forms, promising them his full support.

    CCM members, including ministers, regional commissioners, heads of government agencies, and district commissioners, on July 13 started collecting and filling forms seeking endorsement from the party to contest for parliamentary seats in the October general election.

    According to a timetable released by CCM, prospective candidates seeking approval to vie for parliamentary seats were free to pick the forms until July 17 and names to be approved by the ruling party will be released on July 19.

    Mu giterane cyateguwe na Joyce meyer Ministiries cyabereye i Hampton muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, Tabitha Sierra yatanze ubuhamya bukomeye bw’ukuntu yatandukanye n’umugabo we (Divorce) ariko bitamuturutseho ahubwo ari umugabo we wamwihakanye. Icyakora we yahamye ku ijambo rivuga ko atazareka kumukunda, Kubw’igitangaza cy’Imana nyuma y’imyaka5 barongera bakora ubukwe, kandi babanye neza!

    Umugabo wanjye ni umusirikare ubarizwa mu ngabo zirwanira mu mazi (Marine Corps). Mu gihe kingana n’imyaka umunani, ari mu butumwa bw’akazi yagarutse yarahindutse cyane, yaje atakinyikoza nta rukundo yari akimfitiye .
    Mu bihe bitandukanye yahoraga antonganya kandi akanyerurira neza ko atagishaka kubana na njye.

    Ubusanzwe nkora mu buvuzi ku bijyanye n’imitekerereze y’abantu (psychologue), nari nzi neza ko umugabo wanjye arwaye indwara yo guhahamuka (PTSD). Icyo kibazo yari agisanganywe arinayo mpamvu yahoraga antoteza muri ubwo buryo, ariko ntacyo nashoboraga kubikoraho.

    Urushako rwacu rwabaye rubi cyane kuko byageze n’aho tudashobora kwicara hamwe ngo tujye inama nk’abashakanye, nakwinjira mu cyumba arimo agahita asohoka.

    Umunsi umwe, rero naje gufungura Televiziyo mbona inyigisho za Joyce Meyer, maze bigera aho gutanga ibyifuzo byo gusengera abafite ingo ziri mu marembera, avuga ko dukwiye guhama ku ijambo ntiducike intege,ahubwo tugasaba gushyigikirwa n’imana mu miryango yacu.

    Mubyukuri nari maze imyaka myinshi ndi umukristo nkijijwe, ariko sinari narigeze numva inyigisho zo kwizera nkizo! Naravuze nti: “ kuki njye ntabohoza umugabo wanjye ?”

    Joyce Meyer yashishikarije abantu kujya ku rubuga rwe, maze bafate urutonde rw’amagambo yo gusengeramo batura ibyiringiro n’insinzi ku buzima bwabo buri munsi. Nanjye rero nafashe urwo rutonde rwayo magambo.

    Nacukumbuye muri Bibiliya nsangamo ibyanditswe byose bivuga ku bashakanye, nuko ntangira kwatura ayo magambo yose nsengera impinduka ku mugabo wanjye , umuryango wacu, abana bacu, n’imibanire yacu. Nicaye ku ijambo mvuga nti: “urugo rwacu rugomba kuramba.”

    Muri ibyo bihe rero nakomeje kwinginga Imana, ariko ibintu aho guhinduka ahubwo bigasubira irudubi. Byaje kuba ngombwa rero ko dutandukana byemewe n’amategeko (Divorce), kuko umugabo wanjye yari yarabyiyemeje,kandi abishaka, nsigara muri ako gahinda.

    Inshuro nyinshi rero satani yarangendereraga akambwira ko ibyo kuvuga ko urugo rwacu ruzaramba byarangiye umunsi Twakoze natandukanye n’umugabo, ariko njye ngua ku ijambo

    nkamusubiza nzakomeza kwizera kwanjye kandi ko ntazatezuka ntakwemera na gato ibyo ambwira. Nari nariyemeje ko igihe cyose nzahura n’ibinca intege nzahama ku ijambo nabwiye Imana. Mukigwi cyo kwivovotera Imana nashikamye kukwizera kwanjye , kandi nirinze ko hari amagambo yo gushidikanya yava mu kanwa kanjye.
    Icyakora uko iminsi yagiye itambuka nagiye mbona agacu k’impinduka Ariko, ibyo nkakomeza kubishimira Imana.

    Nagumye rero muri urwo rugamba Satani nawe ntiyahwemye kujya angenderera ,akanca intege ambwira ko hashize imyaka 4 ntandukanye n’umugabo wanjye kandi ko ntakindi ntegereje nakagombye gushaka undi, ngo kuko ndimo gusaza.

    Ariko nakomeje guhagarara nkabwira satani nti: “Windiganya kuko muri iyi si sinshaka undi mugabo,Sinshaka urundi rukundo Ndashaka ko umugabo wanjye agaruka niwe narahiye ko nzakunda iteka ryose.”

    Nyuma yimyaka itanu ntandukanye umugabo wanjye, Imana yakoze igitangaza mubyukuri umuganbo wanjye arangarukira anyambika indi mpeta aravuga ati: “Niyemeje kuzashyingiranwa nawe.”

    Ntimwabyiyumvisha rero kuko iyo yari intambwe nini yari itewe mu buzima bwanjye. Muri icyo gihe, umubano wacu warakomeje kandi umugabo wanjye yaravugaga ati: “Sinzagusiga.”

    Ubwo rero nanjye nashimye Imana ariko nkomeza no gusenga ninginga Imana, nyisaba ko iduha urugo rw’umugisha kandi rushingiye kuriyo . Nayisabaga ko urukundo rwacu rwaba rwiza tugakundana nkuko Kristo yakunze Itorero (Abefeso 5:25) “ Bagabo,mukunde abagore banyu nkuko Krito yakunze itorero akitangira”.

    Ubu ndababwira ko uyu munsi hashize imyaka umunani kandi umugabo wanjye arankunda ndabishimira Imana kuko yampojeje amarira. Ku isabukuru yacu iheruka , yateguye urugendo arantungura dutemberana mu mujyi wa New York antwaye mu modoka.

    Ndashima Imana ko ubu umugabo wanjye atekereza neza cyane kuruta uko yahoze!

    Bitewe n’urugamba nanyuzemo namenye ko nta hantu na hamwe Imana itakura umuntu! Ijambo ry’Imana rigaragaza ko duhabwa ibirenze ibyo dusaba ( Abefeso 3:20).

    Nahagaze ku Ijambo ryayo, kandi ndashimira Imana ko mfite urugo rwiza uyu munsi. Niba hari intambara urimo kurwana intambara y’urushako ndamushishikariza guhagarara ku Ijambo, akaryatura , akaryiga . Ushikame kandi ntukemere guha icyuho satani mugihe utarabona igisubizo cy’ibyo wasabye Imana. Imana yiteguye kuzahura umubano wawe n’uwo mwashakanye kandi satani ntashobora kugira icyo aguhungabanyaho keretse umunsi wacogoye , kubw’ibyo rero ntucike intege!

  • Coffee farming lifts farmers out of poverty #rwanda #RwOT

    IGIHE spoke to some residents of the Eastern Province in Gatsibo and Kirehe districts, where they point out how coffee farming has lifted them out of poverty.

    Kagirinka Cecile, a 64-year-old resident of Kigarama Village in Rwarenga Cell in Remera Sector, says she started growing coffee in 1985 and cultivated less coffee, a crop that helped her raise her children, pay for their education until all of them graduated and got married.

    Kagirinka says in addition to paying for her children’s school fees, she has now renovated her home and bought land in various places and thanks to Project of Rural Income through Exports (PRICE) training through the National Agricultural Exports Development (NAEB).

    Ngerageze Straton, a 51-year-old resident of Gahara Sector in Kirehe, says he started growing coffee in 2006 with the help of Price who later joined him in the coffee farmers’ cooperative. He started harvesting coffee for the first time in 2010.

    “I started harvesting coffee with 125 kilograms and then I continued to grow as many as 1,000 trees, and PRICE planted for me other 4,300 trees in different places,” he added.

    Ngerageza says that they dug holes for them, gave them manure and seedlings to plant.

    “What shows that I have made progress in this project, I have got Rwf 500,000 and am planning to reap more money next year.”

    Nyiramahoro Theopiste, director of the Rwanda Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative, said PRICE project helped farmers realize the value of coffee where they were helped to plant trees worth over Rwf 150 million on an area of 1,500 hectares across the country.

    He said there are currently 86 cooperatives in the country, including 18,700 coffee farmers. PRICE is a rural development project implemented through the National Agricultural Exports Development (NAEB). Gerageza Straton says he has achieved a lot thanks to coffee Gashakwabubah Ezekiel says that coffee has lifted him out of poverty Kagirinka Cecile says coffee helped her raise her children, pay for their education until all of them graduated and got married

  • Le Senegal a l’ecole rwandaise de IMIHIGO, Contrat de performance #rwanda #RwOT

    Les différents rapports de l’Inspection générale d’état (Ige) ont mis à nu les dysfonctionnements et les irrégularités dans certains services de l’administration sénégalaise. Une anomalie qui découle en partie d’une inertie et d’un manque de volonté révolutionnaire des autorités. Et pourtant, le « benchmarking » institutionnel existe. Au Rwanda par exemple, le modèle de contrat de performance appelé « imihigo » imposé aux maires et aux directeurs généraux a fini par faire de ce pays un champion en matière de lutte contre la corruption.

    Le constat qui ressort des différents rapports de l’IGE remis au Président Macky Sall et rendus publics est alarmant. L’administration sénégalaise dans sa plus grande partie navigue dans les eaux troubles du népotisme, du détournement de fonds et de l’inefficacité. Des ministères aux directions en passant par les collectivités territoriales, la nébuleuse, l’incohérence et le laxisme sont les maux les mieux partagés.

    Et si le choix des hommes est une des causes de la déliquescence de l’administration, force est de dire que le système hérité du colonialisme a beaucoup contribué à la léthargie de l’administration sénégalaise, même si elle a produit plusieurs générations de grands commis de l’Etat. Et pourtant des modèles de gestion puisés dans les tréfonds de nos cultures qui ont produit d’excellents résultats existent en Afrique. Il faut juste changer de regard et arrêter de voir notre salut à travers la lorgnette du modèle occidental qui s’effrite.

    Par exemple, le Rwanda, pays qui était dans une situation presque apocalyptique avec la guerre civile de 1994 qui a causé plus d’un million de morts, apparaît aujourd’hui comme l’un des champions de la bonne gouvernance sur le continent. Et en effet, le pays des mille collines fait partie, avec les Seychelles (premier du contient), le Botswana, le CapVert et la Namibie, des ‘’5 majeurs‘’ du continent en matière de lutte contre la corruption (Indice de Perception de la Corruption dans le monde 2019). Mais comment ce pays a-t-il pu sortir des ténèbres ? le miracle vient de « Imihigo ». En effet, un des éléments clés du relèvement du Rwanda correspond à la mise en œuvre des Imihigo (pratique culturelle ancestrale associée aux ententes de rendement ». Il s’agit d’un système local de gestion des performances, dans le cadre duquel les individus s’engagent à réaliser un certain nombre de tâches durant une année, au terme de laquelle leurs résultats sont évalués par la communauté. Ces contrats, appelés « imihigo », étaient autrefois oraux et entérinés par une cérémonie. Aujourd’hui, ils sont écrits et signés, même si leur fonction reste la même.

    Ainsi, la modernisation de cette pratique constitue l’une des approches novatrices qui sont utilisées pour renforcer la planification, la mise en œuvre et l’évaluation du développement et ce, en vue d’améliorer les conditions de vie des Rwandais. Tous les paliers du gouvernement, y compris les services nationaux, provinciaux et ceux des districts, doivent planifier et mettre en œuvre leurs propres objectifs et leurs propres engagements liés aux « Imihigo ». Ce culte du résultat qui a imprégné toute la société a permis ainsi au Rwanda d’atteindre pratiquement tous les Objectifs de développement du millénaire.

    Dans la gestion publique, il se traduit depuis 2006 par des contrats de performances. Chaque année, les responsables des districts doivent signer avec le président de la République, Paul Kagamé, un contrat très précis indiquant les résultats à atteindre dans différents domaines : hectares de maïs à planter, taux de scolarisation, construction de latrines, nombre de centres de soins. Les maires performants sont récompensés alors que ceux qui ont failli peuvent être congédiés, ou même envoyés en prison lorsqu’ils sont pris en flagrant délit de corruption. Le contrat de performance concerne aussi les ministères et les organismes du gouvernement. Et il n’est pas rare de voir des ministres et directeurs généraux licenciés de leurs postes. L’on se souvient par exemple qu’en 2015, trois maires de grandes localités du Rwanda ont été arrêtés pour malversations.

    En somme, les rapports de l’IGE montrent l’urgence de changer de paradigme dans la manière de gérer le pays. Et dans cette perspective de révolution, il faut voir les modèles qui marchent comme le Rwanda. D’autant qu’à l’image de ce pays qui est allé puiser dans sa culture pour trouver des notions comme « Imihigo » pour l’inclure dans la gestion de l’Etat, le Sénégal regorge de concepts comme le ‘’Ngor‘’, le ‘’Jom” qui étaient ses fils rouges. Il faut déconstruire les esprits et le rapport symbolique avec nos anciens ‘’maîtres” qui nous ont légué une administration qui secrète des ‘’rois‘’ et des bourgeois au grand dam des populations qui continuent de s’enliser dans la pauvreté. Si le Président Macky Sall a su relever le défi lancé par son homologue Paul Kagamé sur les mesures d’hygiène à prendre dans ce contexte de Covid-19, il peut faire autant en essayant de copier ce modèle Imihigo en matière de gestion publique.
