Participants during the meeting

Olivier Sebatware, the executive secretary of Muhazi sector in Rwamagana district said the sector is set to put more effort on land consolidation and growing selected crops to increase yields and improve residents’ livelihoods.

This comes after the Government of Rwanda embarked on land consolidation and growing of selected crops to enable residents increase yields and achieve sustainable development.

Sebatware revealed this on November 2, during the meeting that aimed at devising possible means that can lead Muhazi sector to fast development.

He revealed that though 2014-2015 performance contracts will be worked on, adding much emphasis will be put on pledges meant to promote economic development of the residents.

“Much effort will be directed to the performance contracts that are meant to promote social economic development like land consolidation,” he highlighted.

Egide Ngabonziza, a resident said residents need to change their attitude in order to achieve fast development.

“Residents need to change their mindset and embrace land consolidation as a way to increase yields and improved livelihoods,” he said.

The meeting was attended by residents and development partners of Muhazi sector.

The meeting was marked by signing the performance contracts between the Sector Executive Secretary and the President of the Sector Council, followed by Cell performance contracts that were signed by Sector Authorities.

Land consolidation has always been regarded as an instrument or entry point for rural development.
