Rwandan Governance Initiative (RIG)

Rwanda Initiative for Governance (RIG) is a Rwandan citizen organization working to promote good governance and citizen participation. It was established in 2011.

Its focus over several years has been the education of high school children in the benefits of integrity and the challenges of eradicating fraud and corruption.  This includes many visits to schools and the establishment of “Integrity Clubs” to sustain the work between visits.

IGI Rwanda is passionately committed to building a new generation of Rwandans for whom corruption is completely unacceptable in public life.
