Promotion of Culture

One of the mandates of MIJESPOC is to promote culture which involves ; values, institutions, expressions of Rwandan culture, National heritage and arts. Culture promotes a sense of togetherness, imagination, inspiration, inventiveness which undoubtedly contributes to economic development and thus reduces poverty from its mission to maintain fairness and harmony among Rwandans, resulting in the creation of an enabling environment for sustainable development.

To ensure that all the programs are streamlined into our culture, the Ministry is tasked with building and strengthening institutions that promote our culture. These include ; Institute of National Museums of Rwanda (IMNR), Rwandan Office of Archives and Libraries (ORAB), National Commission of Fight against Genocide (CNLG), Rwandan Academy of Language and Culture (ARLC), Chancellery of Heroes, National Orders and Decorations of Honor (CHON)

Culture activities are also promoted thought civic education programs such as ITORERO and exhibitions ; cultural values such as integrity, peaceful coexistence, social cohesion, solidarity and volunteerism form part of ITORERO training programs. Cultural festivals are held every year and Rwandan cultural dances, drama, traditions etc are showcased.
