About this statute

This provision says the law creates the National Commission of Science and Technology (NCST) and sets out its mission, organization, and functioning. This article says the law applies to science and technology understood as knowledge or processes gained through learning, training, creation, or knowledge transfer for innovation in priority employment areas in the national development plan. NCST has legal personality and administrative and financial autonomy. NCST’s head office must be in Kigali, and it may move elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. NCST may also set up branches elsewhere in the country with approval by a Prime Minister’s Order. NCST must carry out a set of science-and-technology mission duties, including advising the Government, supporting training, promoting innovation, maintaining skills data, cooperating with other institutions, and issuing an annual report.
