The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) has launched a new SMS-based application which will facilitate the task of collecting and disseminating statistics information in real-time.

With the recent development of communication facilities, the large majority of Rwandan population has continuously adopted the use of mobile phone as one of the technology platform to share information. Within this move, the mobile phone penetration has impressively increased from 2005 to 2010 across the whole country.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals that in September 2000, all 193 United Nations member states have agreed to achieve by the year 2015 in order to encourage development by improving social and economic conditions in the world's poorest countries.
