About this statute

This provision states that the Order sets out the responsibilities, organisation, powers, functioning, and composition of the Rwanda National Research Ethics Committee (RNEC). This article defines “institutional review Board” as the committee that reviews and approves human research protocols in healthcare facilities and academic institutions. RNEC’s head office is in Kigali and may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary and approved by Cabinet. RNEC must protect research participants and oversee health research protocols. RNEC has power to grant or withdraw ethical clearance, set review fees, make procedural rules and guidelines, and authorize, accredit, train, and supervise institutional review boards.
