The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda is pleased to inform members of the media and the general public that it’s President, Dr.Frank HABINEZA has been re-elected to Chair the African Greens Federation for the next four years (2014-2018). This vote of confidence took place at the African Greens Congress in Antananarivo-Madagascar, from 20th -21st June 2014. The Congress brought together 17 political parties from across Africa. The African Greens Federation has its headquarters in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Dr.Frank Habineza was first elected in 2010, when DGPR was still struggling to get registered, a process that took it four years. His new election as President of the African Greens Federation was an appreciation for achievements recorded in the last four years and as well an acknowledgement to the Government of the Republic of Rwanda for having allowed the Greens set foot in Rwanda. He was also one of the three officials elected to represent Africa on the Global Greens Coordination, the second coming from Niger and the other from Morocco. The substitutes come from Madagascar, Chad and Uganda. The congress also elected other officials, from different parts of Africa, who include: the First Vice President from Burkina Faso, Second Vice President from Madagascar, Secretary General from Senegal, Treasurer from Uganda and the Communication Secretary from Niger. The Committee also has Regional Chairs: Togo represents West Africa, Kenya represents East Africa, Egypt represents North Africa, Congo-Kinshasa represents Central Africa, Mauritius represents the Indian Ocean states, while the Southern Region will send its representative at a later date.

DGPR took on the opportunity to establish Provincial Women Greens Committees in those provinces, which is a good step forward for the party in establishing itself at the grassroots level. The first phase of Party leadership trainings were conducted in Bugesera district, Huye district, Rubavu district and Musanze district. DGPR also established District Executive Committees in the above mentioned districts. This is a very important achievement for the party after its official registration last year in August. The trainings focused on the following themes: Meaning of political ideology and politics Responsibilities, structures and strategies of political parties in a democracy Gender and the role of women in decision making towards economic development Partnerships between private sector and the Government in development and young entrepreneurship Political leadership and political conflict management Political competition: elections, rules and regulations during electoral campaigns All trainings were done with support from the National Consultative Forum of Political Organisations in Rwanda.
