Resulting from a collaborative project led by OLE Rwanda, and with input from The Ministry of Education and High Education Institution (HEI) as well as PERii Rwanda, two monitoring and evaluation workshops were successfully implemented in December.  Findings from these provide us with an useful insight into the barriers but also potential solutions to help maximise the impact of electronic resources in the education sector.

Optimising Usage of e-Resources for Research: Series of promotional and training activities, Rwanda, March - July 2009
Rwanda, March 2009The Open Learning Exchange (OLE), Rwanda, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) and the PERii Country Coordinator, organised a series INASP supported activities aimed at promoting awareness and usage of electronic resources in Rwanda.As well as consultation and promotional events, two electronic resource capacity building workshops were presented in Kigali and in Butare.  Dr. Mathias Harebamungu (Permanent Secretary - MINEDUC) officially opened the Kigali event and presenters and facilitators were qualified librarians with work experience from various Rwanda institutions.  Topics covered included:

  • use of ICTs to access and vulgarize education resources
  • developing the electronic learning culture in Rwanda
  • use of scientific publications for the production and distribution of research
  • bridging the gap between access and use of e-resources to foster ICTs integration in education

A wide range of institutions were represented. Feedback indicated the diversity of participants was particularly positive. Recommendations were drawn up which participants felt were realistic. Plans are now underway to make these recommendations into actions. Mr Jacques Murinda, OLE Rwanda Executive Director and lead organiser of this project, was pleased with the outcomes. He hopes this will lead to improved use of resources and ICTs in the education sector.
