Voices from the Capacity Project
 “If we train our own people, we will have the service providers needed for Rwanda,†says Mary Murebwayire, director of the Nursing and Midwifery Task Force in Rwanda’s Ministry of Health. Toward this aim, the Ministry has focused on revamping its nursing education programs and producing skilled graduates who are ready to respond to the country’s most pressing health needs.
In January 2007, five priority nursing schools in Rwanda welcomed the first students in the new three-year, competency-based Registered Nursing and Midwifery A1 Programs. In collaboration with the Belgium Technical Corporation, APEFE and Columbia University, the Capacity Project supported the curriculum design and implementation of these programs, which are vital to the government’s plans to phase out lower-level A2 programs and transition to a workforce of A1 or higher-level professionals. Viviane Mukakarara, the Project’s Nursing and Midwifery Team leader in Rwanda, drew on her expertise in nursing education to take a leadership role in this effort.
