UNDP Rwanda
Country Office as well as its implementing partners collected over the years a
great number of pictures, images and audio-video materials, as part of the work
done in Rwanda. These materials, however, have not been fully utilized, mainly
due to the lack of an organized system to compile, file, and retrieve them. An
organized archive will provide for the Web Upgrade Project the required audio
visual materials needed to complement the contents to be included.
