in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of
migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and
non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to
promoting humane and orderly
migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice
to governments and migrants.
IOM’s
main activities in Rwanda to date are related to the socio-economic
reintegration of returnees in collaboration with the Ministry of Disaster
Management and Refugees Affairs (since 2010) and following the civil war in
DRC, IOM is also involved in resettlement of Congolese refugees in Rwanda
mainly to USA, Australia, Finland, Canada and UK. IOM is also working to
strengthen the capacity of the Government of Rwanda in two areas, in labour
migration management to systematically manage and regulate labour migration and
in devising an ICT strategy for the Directorate General for Immigration and
Emigration.

The
Government of Rwanda has embarked upon an overhaul exercise within the
Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration (DGIE) and in keeping with
EAC protocol recommendations, national requirements and international norms
intends revamping their border management information data capture IT system
that coordinates migrant information capture and storage and dissemination. The
Government of Rwanda also intends to pursue e-governance initiatives within in
its passport and visa services in an effort to enhance and streamline the
migration and data processes toward an effective migration management ICT
system.

As
a result, the IOM and the DGIE seek a consultant to assess the ICT needs of the
DGIE and create a comprehensive ICT strategy within the context of Rwanda in
accordance to the law, policies, procedures, structures and security measures
regarding migration. The consultant will be based within the DGIE and be
allocated a government official as liaison/focal point. This will also aid in
the transfer of skills and capacity building. It is intended that an
institutional ICT strategy be created to guide the design, building and
implementation of a sustainable integrated ICT architecture that will enable
the DGIE to implement the Government’s Migration Policy and E-Government Policy

1)
Lack of up to date information sharing systems between border posts and DGIE in
Kigali 2) Scarce corporation between DGIE and the Rwandan embassies abroad 3)
Inefficient investigation into foreigners applying for visas 4) After-entry
management of visitors has been raised by DGIE, but concrete mechanisms and
capacity to assess these risks are still not in place within the institution.
5) Enhanced systems analysis capabilities to manage movement of people into and
out of Rwanda. 6) Lack of e-Payment gateway system to allow online payment of
visa and permits
