The process of developing the maiden Millennium Development Goals Report(MDGR) for Rwanda started in June 2006.

A broad range of stakeholders participated to ensure national ownership and relevance of the country report.
The individuals who participated in this process, and to whom due credit should be given, are too many to enumerate by name.

They are the men and women from government departments, civil society organizations and development partner institutions, who worked in the eight theme groups and members of the United Nations Task Force on the MDG Report.

Due recognition also goes to the facilitating team from UNDP-NISR coordinat- ing the basic research towards the preparation of the document and pooled the various inputs into a coherent document.

The MDGR effort is as successful as it ultimately is because of able leadership from the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda, the UN Resident Coordina- tor, and ?nancial support from the UNDP Of?ce and the overall support from the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning.
