Civil Administration Reform – 1994

According to the UN Secretary General’s report, the Rwandan government “required assistance in reestablishing system of administration, justice, police, finance, education and health and all other responsibilities a government must discharge”.¹ In reestablishing the civil administration, the UNAMIR assisted the government. The southwestern zone was fully coordinated with the UNAMIR and the civil administration was restored. The government installed prefects at Kibuye, Gikongoro and Cyangugu.²

In September 1994, the Rwandan prime minister announced the eight-point program for national unity which included organizing the central, prefectural, communal, sector and cell administrations.³
