Rwanda’s National Forensic Institute (RFI) has launched plans to open branches in all provinces, a move officials say will bring forensic services closer to citizens and improve the justice system.
The announcement came Monday during the “Know RFI” campaign in Nyagatare District, aimed at informing local leaders about the institute’s work and how to help communities access its services.
Dr. Charles Karangwa, RFI’s director general, said the expansion is part of the government’s five-year plan to decentralize services. “This will reduce cases where evidence from remote areas takes too long to reach us or risks losing its authenticity,” he said.
New branches will be established in Nyagatare, Kirehe, Rwamagana, Huye, Rusizi, Rubavu and Musanze, with two offices in Rusizi due to its geography. Additional branches are planned at Kigali and Bugesera international airports.
RFI also plans to expand regionally, with 12 African countries expressing interest in hosting its services.
Officials say the expansion will improve access to justice and ensure evidence is preserved more effectively.
