Kigali became the capital when Rwanda gained Independence in 1962. It is endowed with a wonderful climate because of the tropical climate and hilly nature of the country.

Since the end of the 1994 genocide between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes, Kigali city infrastructure has greatly developed with a good road and communication network and better administration.
This is a list of the districts that constitute Kigali City

* District of Butamwa,

*  District of Gikondo,

* District of Gisozi,

* District of Kacyiru,

*  District of Kanombe,

*  District of Kicukiro,

*  District of Nyamirambo,

*  District of Nyarugenge

In this district is where the National Museum and the King’s court, which continue to attract a considerable number of tourists are found. The Southern Province shares its Southern border with the provinces of Ngozi and kayanza of Burundi, it shares its Eastern border with Kigali city, as well as the Eastern province and Kirundo (Burundi), it shares the northern one with the Northern province, while in the west it borders the Western province.

In the recent redistricting arrangemen, the province got 8 new districts which include; Komanyi, Muhanga, Huye, Gisagara, Ruhango, Nyaruguru, Nyamagabe as well as Nyanza and  all these are being headed by Mr. Evariste Kabere, who is assisted by the Provincial Executive Secretariat (P.E.S)-Ms Izabiliza Jeanne.

In addition to commerce, mines and services that make an economic domain, thee are other areas where people who mainly live in rural areas indulge, and those are agricultural and animal husbandry.
Meanwhile, it is mainly by road transport, that people move and even transport the goods.

The Province, which abounds in varied diversity of fauna ad flora, has an uneven relief dominated by high mountains and over hanged by a chain of volcanoes, which the climax is the Karisimbi summit with 4507 meters of altitude plus an average altitude of 2000m.

The Northern province was allocated districts during the new redistricting arrangement, and it is important still to note that Mr. Bucagu Boniface heads this province as the Provincial Governor and he is assisted by the Provincial Executive Secretary (P.E.S) who is Kabagamba Deo

With the redistricting arrangements, which were carried o recently, the eastern province therefore got Theoneste Mutsindashyaka heading. It is the Provincial Governor, while the Provincial Executive Secretary-Gasana Charles is his assistant.

Some parts of the province are located in a region, which is covered by a chain of mountains with so many rivers snaking between them. Despite the fact that these rivers produce an attractive scenery, they are still accounted responsible for the soil erosion especially during the rainy season, which they cause to the province.

The provincial authorities have therefore opened up a campaign of planting trees where they have been cut as well as reserving the old one, and they do these in the name of solving this problem-Soil erosion. Putting the artificial forests aside, the province has also got natural forests, where various species of animals reside and these include Nyungwe and Mukuru forests.

With the new redistricting arrangement, the Eastern province is then made up of 7  districts, which are being headed by the Provincial Governor-Sheik Harelimana Moussa Fazil, with his assistant Ngabo Amiel who is the Provincial Executive Secretariat (P.E.S).

Roundpoint Kigali

Kigali, a city that is located almost in the center of Rwanda, went through the recent redistricting arrangement too, and the city is at the moment headed by the Executive Secretary-Ndayisaba Fidèle while people in Kigali continue to wait for their Mayor to be elected-democratically.

The city has experienced a high population increase over the past twenty years, which was even boosted by the genocide period, when the returning Rwandans flocked the capital in the name of looking for security. The population is therefore believed to have shot from 6,000 in 1960 to 603, 049 to-date.

Kigali city, which is almost in the center of the country, with altitude of 1057’S and on longitude 30004’Eis now facing a number of challenges.
