Over the period of 2012 to 2017, different training consultancy services were provided for participants from the public sector (Ministries and districts) in the areas of project management, monitoring and evaluation, leadership for Good governance, Result-Based Management, Total quality Management, and Participatory planning Approach. Various workshops of developing module curricula in relation to business areas (levels of undergraduate, masters and PhD programs) and developing business plans were also attended from 2011. Other workshops attended were related to research activities. It is in this regard that in August 2011, I was one of the team members who were selected by the company BiD Network to assess business plans. The assessment consisted of confirming whether those business plans were eligible for getting funding. I assessed 69 business plans. This was done in the context of helping the business development in Rwanda.
