When we use the term e-Governance, we mean the use of
information and communication technologies (ICT) to
promote more efficient and effective government, facilitate
more accessible government services, allow greater public
access to information and make government more
accountable to citizens. E-Governance involve delivering
services via the Internet, telephone, community centers (self-
service or facilitated by others), wireless devices or other
communications systems.
E-governance is the digital transformation in the delivery of
services between government institutions or agencies (G2G),
citizens (G2C), employees (G2E) and businesses (G2B).
Digital service delivery reduces inefficiencies in public service
delivery, increases accountability and reduces corruption
through transparency, and empowers the citizen or business
through access to information and services they need
anywhere, anytime, resulting in e-governance.
This in turn boosts public satisfaction and engagement with
the government and is directly correlated with the principles
of good governance. Thus, e-governance is an enabler of
good governance.

Users
Government to Government (G2G)
Planning, Budgeting, Accounting, Treasury Management and Financial
Reporting made simple and easier using IFMIS and SDMS web-based
systems
Government to Employee (G2E)
Time to pay employee reduced to a great extent through the
integration of IFMIS, SmartHR and Banks
Recruitment of employees made easier using e-recruitment of IPPIS
Government to Business (G2B)
Bidding and contracting online via Umucyo and PKI
Supplier registration and tax declaration made easier
Government to Citizens (G2C)
Local government services, RNP services, Migration services, etc
availed online using MNOs, Banks, Irembo, e-Tax, etc.
National exam registration facilitated via SDMS, Irembo and Banks
 
IFMIS: 
Design of a Typical 
From books
 
Financial management information systems (FMIS) can be broadly defined as a set of
automation solutions that enable governments to plan, execute, and monitor the budget
by assisting in the prioritization, execution, and reporting of expenditures, as well as the
custodianship and reporting of revenues.

Functional expansion to all decentralized

Machine learning, Data Mining,
Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and
other state of art technologies to be art
the heart of improving service delivery,
transparency and accountability in PFM
systems.
Paperless and cashless policies will
continue to drive the digitization of PFM
services across all government service
delivery units, with aim of self-service,
any time, any where.

IFMIS Functional Expansion
 
Human Challenges
Lack of official guidelines, policies and
procedures for institutions or
departments that need business process
automation.
Automation Cost vs ROI
Ownership and coordination between
institutions: Education vs Finance (SDMS
as one systems owned by two
ministries), Health vs Finance (?),
Infrastructure vs Finance (?)
 
Institution Challenges
Business Experts vs Computer
Programmers: 
Language differences
Automation skills gap: 
The illusion of
explanatory depth (IOED) is a cognitive
bias where people believe that they
understand a topic much better than
they actually do.
External dependencies that may not
allow to move to the required speed.

IFMIS & SDMS
 
Risk mitigation
 strategies
Rwanda’s progress is grounded in favorable
transformational factors in the form of its visionary
leadership as well as the results-based culture, home
grown solutions, security, stability, law and order, and
zero tolerance to corruption among others. PFM
systems are founded on top of this political will.
Agility Software Development as the primary PFM
Systems development methodology in order to cope
with government dynamism and high technological
changes.
IFMIS systems being developed in line within e-
Government wide framework, strategies and policies.
The ability to adapt IFMIS to new changes
is the key success factor.
 
10
 
IFMIS Functional Expansion
 
In-house Development
Use a domain-driven design approach
to designing IFMIS.
In-house IFMIS is always cheaper than
off-the-shelf IFMIS
Favor IFMIS process-based automation
as opposed to data-entry tool.
 
In-house Development
Political will is the core factor to having
in-house system.
In-house software development
promote country’s internal capacity for
self-development and sustainability.
Believe always in the capacity of internal
resources.
Collaboration is key to achieving
successful development of IFMIS.
