ABSTRACT

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) was created in October 2005 by the

Organic Law No. 09/2005 of 14/07/2005 as an independent institution to replace the former

Department of Statistics in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN)

and the National Bureau of Census.

Statistics is an indispensable element in the information system of a democratic society. This

is the first Principle the UN Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics. Statistics support

the National system made of the government, the private sector, the civil society and the

general public by providing information about the people, the economy and the social

situation in the country. Statistical data monitor how we are progressing as a country and as a

people, when and where we are becoming weaker or stronger and why.

The purpose of this report is to explain in detail the experience that we acquired during the

internship plus problems and failures that we faced. The report is also a requirement for

any UR student who did internship. This report focuses primarily on the assignments

handled, working environment, successes and shortcomings those we as intern did

encounter when handling various tasks assigned to us by the supervisor.

Because the various parts of the report reflect the intern’s shortcomings, successes,

observations and comments, it would be imperative that the recommendations are also given.

Therefore the report gives a number of comments, recommendations and conclusion

CHAPTER I: GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Every year, the students from UNIVERSITY OF RWANDA, College of Business and

Economics, Department of Applied Statistics undergraduate level 3, practice their theoretical

studies during the internship period to strengthen their potential ability to meet the

requirement of their courses program and to apply the theories learnt in class and continue

getting professional skills. This period of internship is an important moment because it

helps students to relate theories learned in classroom to the realities of outside of the

classroom. It is also a kind of practice which helps an individual to be performer in his/her

future profession.

Internship is a very important experience which provides a student with an opportunity to put

into practice skills learned while in class. In addition, the student should have an opportunity

to enhance those skills, obtain the perspective of a work environment and benefit from a

mentor or supervisor’s experience and advice.

According to the key tasks of statistician, including application of statistical software,

data collection, data entry, data analysis, and other services related, students do their

internship in different institutions which offer those services. It is the reason why I carried

out my one month internship in NISR, in department of Social and Demographic Statistics,

in Civil Registration of Vital Statistics System (CRVS) which carried out in Huye district, at

Ngoma sector.

1.1. OBJECTIVES OF MY INTERNSHIP

1.1.1. Overall objective

The overall objective of this internship is to put into practice the theoretical trainings and

courses that we have learnt from class and to be familiarized with the reality of the field.

1.1.2. Specific objectives

To see what is like to work in a professional environment;

To see if this kind of work is a possibility for my future career;

To use my gained skills and knowledge on field area;

To see what skills and knowledge I still need to work in a professional environment;

To learn about research methodologies (field methods/methods to analyze data)

To get fieldwork experience/collect data in an environment unknown for me;

To enhance my communication skills;

To build a network.

To work in multidisciplinary team ,

1.2. ORGANIZATION OF REPORT

This practical internship report is compiled into the following chapters:

1. Chapter one deals with the general introduction and emphasizes on the purposes

of my internship,

2. Chapter two gives the description of location of working place. It points out the

historical background of NISR, presents and describes different activities of NISR

especially in department of Demographic Social and Statistics.

3. Chapter three presents the work done during my internship.

4. Chapter four deals with appreciation, challenges, recommendations and

conclusion for this internship.

3

1.3 METHODOLOGY

Here are methods used to gather data to achieve the stated objectives. Those methods are:

observation, interviewing, documentary approach, participatory approach and direct

discussion with the supervisor.

1.3.1 Observation

Most of interventions in CRVS web application were practical. I have to make either a

physical installation (hardware) or soft installation (software). Thus, we had to observe

carefully the followed process and ask at the same time related questions.

1.3.2 Interview

We used to ask questions all the time to our supervisor for clear understanding for the new

works performed. We also use this methodology at Ngoma sector for asking questions to the

people who participated in civil registration for getting relevant information. It was the most

common used method during the whole practical internship.

1.3.3 Documentary approach

This method helped us to gather all necessary information to describe the missions of the

organization, the different services and its respective tasks.

1.3.4 Participatory approach

After observation and interview, we were usually involved to participate in recording the

news participants in civil registration of vital statistics (CRVS).

1.3.5. Direct discussion with the supervisor:

We used to discuss with our supervisor explaining us all about civil registration, data entry

by using new web application, and Microsoft access.

CHAP II. THE PRESENTATION AND INTERNSHIP LOCALISATION

2.1. Description of NISR

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) is a knowledge-based organization

that provides relevant, timely, accurate and accessible statistics which form basis for policies,

plans, decisions and actions. The NISR is the government statistician, the national statistical

authority and the leader of the Rwanda Statistical System (RSS).

The NISR shares these achievements with our stakeholders- the households, establishments

and institutions that provided us the raw data, the national government agencies and local

government units that provided us the data collected from their own systems, the

development partners that gave us technical and financial support and the mass media that

helped us disseminate the information to the public.

2.1.1: Historical background of NISR

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) was created in 2005 to replace the

former Department of Statistics in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning

(MINECOFIN). The Institute is governed by the board of Directors and operates on the basis

of performance contract with MINECOFIN. The NISR is mandated to track and monitor the

economic development and poverty reduction performance indicators. In particular, it

manages and produces all the statistics for national development.

In early 2007, a Support Project to the NISR was formulated and its implementation

commenced in April 2007. The project is financed through a basket fund by partners

including, the Department for International Development (DFID), European Commission

(EC), and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and is managed by UNDP. It is

aimed at strengthening the capacity and supporting NISR to roll out the actions set in its

strategic plan.

5

2.1.2: Localization of NISR

National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda is located in Kigali City, Nyarugenge District

precisely in Muhima Sector more than 5m near the road. It is 1.5 km away from Nyabugogo

General Parking and 500m from Bank of Kigali.

Figure 1: National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda Headquarter

2.1.3: Vision of NISR

To develop and sustain a culture of excellence in statistical production and management of

national development

2.1.4: Mission of NISR

To assume the leading role in improving capacity to use evidence- based information for

decision-making by coordinating national effort to collect and archive reliable data, to

analyze, document and disseminate data within an integrated and sustainable framework.

6

2.1.5: Partnership

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) relies on vast array of partners in its

mission to assume the leading role in improving capacity to use evidence-based information

for decision-making by coordinating national effort to collect and archive reliable data, to

analyze, document and disseminate data within an integrated and sustainable framework.

The list of some partner with NISR

For development partners: -United Nations Development Program

-United Nations Children’s fund

- United Nations Population’s fund

-United Nations Statistics Division

For Government partners: -National Bank of Rwanda

-Ministry of Agriculture

-Ministry of Health

For Statistical Institutions: -Statistics South Africa

-Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics-Egypt

2.1.6: communication within institution

The faster a manager can understand an employee, the more effective they can be in

managing and coaching. This is the reason why NISR uses the meetings for internees by

providing knowledge about how they fit with their job and how they can effectively work

with supervisor and create positive team dynamics. The uses of telephone, email, face-to-face

are key elements facilitating internees to communicate with supervisor and their colleagues,

and also to accomplish their jobs at institution

Briefly, communication is so widely in National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda at different

level and different units.

7

2.2: Organizational structure of NISR

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) comprises the following organs: The

Board of Directors and The Management of the Institute. Collectively, the organizational

structure of the institute serves to maximize its effectiveness and quality of its

operations. The structure also facilitates NISR's National Statistical System (NSS) wide

coordination activities and projects.

The Board of Directors is the supreme organ of the Institute in management and decision

CHAPTER III: ACTIVITIES REALIZED THROUGHOUT THE INTERNSHIP.

3.1. INTRODUCTION

During one month of our internship in NISR, we have passed through different field at Huye

District including Sectors and Health Center. For me, the internship field was changed

because my first orientation was at CUSP Health Centre but there is not Data Manager. It is

the reason why I was getting the second orientation at Ngoma Sector. At this sector, we were

two internees. I am going to describe activities realized throughout the internship at Ngoma

Sector.

Before the internship activity on 28th June 2014, we have received training by NISR team at

Burate in “Mère Du Verbe” about what we would do on field. We have started our internship

on7thJuly up to 31

st July. One day before, in morning hours; we arrived at UR Huye Campus

in order to receive the briefing about the CRVS which we were going to use in internship. On

my first day of internship, after the staff meeting at Ngoma Sector, the chief in charge of

civil statistics in Sector (NIYONZIMA Albert) showed me the services of Sector,

particularly the services in which we are affected during our internship.

3.3. MYACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT AT NGOMA SECTOR

3.3.1. In CRVS new web application

Civil Registration and Vital Statistics is a good application which helps to know the exact

number of population, certification and legalization. It helps to resolve family problems like

heritage, divorce, and other distribution of family property into children. In Rwanda we need

improvement in Civil Registration; it is the raison why NISR create new web application

known as CRVS new web application for replacing the first one which were known as CIVIL

REGISTRATION DATABASE used in Microsoft Access Application. This one helps to

record birth, death, divorce, marriage, and adoption easily and online. Our internship was

about conducting pilot for this web in Huye district, I am going to show in summary my work

at Ngoma sector where I was as intern.

Figure 5: CRVS structure in Rwanda

CHAPTER IV: THE GENERAL INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT

4.1. Internship appreciation

I am thankful to the department of Applied Statistics for organizing this period of internship.

I am especially appreciative to the NISR for this period of one months because it helps

us to reach in maximum the goals intended by the internship. Throughout our internship, we

got many things including putting in practice the theoretical trainings and courses that we

have learnt from class and to be familiarized with the reality of the field.

I can’t forget to appreciate the good collaboration with all members of Ngoma sector’s team

which have helped us not only to learn scientific knowledge but also the fixation of

professional qualities of an individual working in multidisciplinary team. I also pleased

of the supervision made by NISR team and NIYONZIMA Albert (chief in charge of civil

status at Ngoma sector); it was a kind of motivation in processes our internship.

4.2. Challenges:

The large number of new born which had not names; it was challenges in recording

them into the new application.

My internship was not started at time because the working field was changed. My

first orientation is at CUSP health center but I was received the second orientation

at Ngoma sector.

Problems of living allowance because we haven’t the internship fees.

Problem of modem connection for using on CRVS web application

We had not data from CHUB in our TEMP. It was very difficult to mobilize the

people who using that Hospital(by using mobile phone)

A large number of people on pending(TEMP) which are not coming on sector to be

recorded

Problem of transport and communication because I have not money.

Insufficient number of participants in civil registration

Some records are not completed. For example ID national number, children’s

names

Problem of getting access on computer. One machine(computer) is used by 3

persons;

19

4.3. Conclusion

On the whole, the internship was successful. From NISR with CRVS web application; we

have gotten enough statistical practices skills in accordance with the target objectives of the

internship in spite of some constraints mentioned above. My target activities were well

performed and we have familiarized with the working environment. I gained more important

things from this internship that will guide me in my future life and I suggest that no student

should close his/her studies without applying this important course.

4.4. Recommendations

4.4.1. To Rwandan government in general

Due to high importance of CRVS new web application on getting reliable data for

Rwandan population, this is help in government plan, budgeting and prediction. CRVS

must be involved in all angles of government’s life in order to teach the Rwandan society

about the goodness of being registered as a Rwandan because it is the basis of a durable

development.

4.4.2. TO NISR

CRVS is a good web application for our country, it will be very important to make

effort for putting it into application. It will be good when there are the trained persons at

sectors for only using that application because the chief in charge of civil status haven’t

sufficient time for controlling that application. They have many tasks in office that can

decrease effectiveness of this one. In addition, it will be good if the problem of computers

for using and connection have been resolved.

4.4.3. TO UR, CBE

An internship is a very important experience which provides a student with an opportunity

to put into practice skills learnt while in class. It will be good if the UR, especially CBE

helps students for getting internship orientation at time and getting internship fees at time

for helping students to well life being. I can also ask to organize trip for Applied Statistics

students on the purpose of going on field to see how statistics is applicable and getting

reality of our courses, especially software we learn on field.
