A.1. INTRODUCTION
MINALOC, Functional Review draft, 31 March 2008
ANNEXE A. INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF MINALOC
The functional analysis of the Ministry of Local Administration, Good Governance, Community
Development and Social Affairs is one of 16 studies carried out by Adam Smith International on the
request of the Rwandan Government with the support of the Department for International Development
(DFID) of the United Kingdom
The exercise involves understanding the functions within MINALOC and its branches, examining the
structures or bodies put in place to fulfil those functions, reviewing all other information and functional
tools and to give a view on the efficacy of the services offered. Finally, the analysis will draw together
proposals which will lead to the efficient production of services which aim to satisfy potential
beneficiaries. This analysis deals with all of the activities undertaken by MINALOC in order to fulfil its
legal and political obligations as detailed in the organic laws. It also covers the adequacy of the human
financial and material resources made available to MINALOC in order to accomplish its tasks.
This functional analysis is being carried out at a time when the Government of Rwanda (GoR) is in the
process of supervising the execution of the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy
(EDPRS). It is generally accepted that the weakness in the coordination of development programmes and
projects had been the main obstacle to the execution of activities in the first generation of the EDPRS.
One of the objectives of this functional analysis of MINALOC is to identify the institutional development
needs with the aim of ensuring that the objectives of the EDPRS are achieved.
