EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />

The government of Rwanda established a policy in order to improve efficiency<br />

and effectiveness of public service delivery, one of the pillars of Rwanda’s Vision<br />

2020. The Rwanda Governance Board (RGB) conducted the Citizen Report Card<br />

(<strong>CRC</strong>) 2015 survey as a tool to measure the level of satisfaction of the citizens with<br />

services delivered by public institutions. Its purpose is to provide the feedback from<br />

beneficiaries on the quality and accuracy of services rendered to them by public<br />

institutions at the grassroots level.<br />

The Citizen Report Card 2015 survey covered the domains of education, agriculture<br />

and livestock, local government services, justice, governance issues, health, hygiene<br />

and sanitation, social welfare, land, security, GBV and other common based violence<br />

and citizen participation. In this survey, 11,013 heads of households or other<br />

household members aged above 18 years were visited in all Districts of Rwanda.<br />

Among the respondents, 54.5% were female and 45.5% were male. Regarding the<br />

age, more than the half of the respondents (53.7%) belongs to the age group between<br />

21 and 40 years.<br />

The overall net satisfaction rate of citizens for considered sectors is 71.1%. This shows<br />

an improvement compared to the <strong>CRC</strong> 2014 findings in which the overall satisfaction<br />

was 55%. A summary of the ratings of all sectors (note that net satisfaction is the<br />

accumulation of satisfied and very satisfied) is below:<br />

1. Education : 63.4%<br />

2. Agriculture and livestock : 56.4%<br />

3. Local Government : 74.3%<br />

4. Justice : 76.7%<br />

5. Respect of governance principles and<br />

trust in governance institutions : 89.4%<br />

6. Health : 77.4%<br />
