Open Day Each Chamber of Parliament may organise open days for the purpose of promoting public understanding of the role and work of Parliament, fostering civic education, and strengthening the relationship of trust between Parliament and the citizens it represents. Open days may include guided tours of the parliamentary building and precincts, exhibitions, interactions with Members of Parliament, observation of Committee or plenary proceedings, and such other activities as Parliament may determine.

Field visits Each Member of Parliament has a duty to visit communities in fulfilment of his or her representative, oversight, and linkage functions, in order to consult with community Members, assess the status of public service delivery and government programme implementation and identify the challenges faced by the population. Such visits are conducted individually or through Committees, parliamentary forums, or networks of Members of Parliament. Information gathered and concerns identified through community visits help inform the Member’s work within Parliament.

"Umuganda" Community Work At the end of every month, Members of Parliament join local communities across the country to take part in Umuganda -- Rwanda’s nationally recognised home-grown solution through which citizens come together in common purpose to contribute to the development of their communities. MPs participate on a rotational basis, ensuring that different localities are reached over time. Once the community work comes to a close, MPs sit down with residents for an open dialogue covering government programmes and national development priorities. In the spirit of Umuganda itself - residents ask questions, share their views, and raise concerns about the social and economic issues that affect their daily lives.

Tools of communication To strengthen the linkage between Parliament and the public and to keep citizens informed of and engaged in its work, Parliament makes use of a diverse range of communication channels, namely: social media platforms, its official website, Radio Rwanda Inteko, live streaming of parliamentary proceedings, electronic mail, and telephone lines. Also, Parliament liaises with media houses to extend its reach to a wider audience, recognising that traditional media, including radio, remains a critical channel for reaching citizens where access to digital platforms may be limited. The general public is encouraged to use any of these channels to communicate with and interact with Parliament.
