Thank you Dr. Samwel, you are right, because of the limitation of words for our stories, I didn't go beyond the maximum.These district priorities are normally started from village's level where each family(household) set its priorities to…

Dr. Onward Samuel Mandebvu commented on Mugunga Matabaro's blog post 'Rwanda - Promoting Accountability and encouraging sustainability through Imihigo tool'

Perhaps due to space limitations Mugunga did not elaborate whether there is no risk of local district priorities being set aside when national priorities are announced. Or is it that national guidelines precede local priority listing? I am also…
