INTRODUCTION
This document describes the Task data entry form in the Rwanda Integrated Electronic Case
Management System (Rwanda IECMS) application developed for the Justice, Reconciliation, Law and
Order Sector (JRLOS) of Rwanda. It provides the necessary instructions that the user should follow
during the data entry process. The document is addressed to those who will use the Rwanda IECMS
application to record information on tasks to be carried out.

OVERVIEW
The Integrated Electronic Case Management System for Rwanda (Rwanda IECMS) is an automated
information management system, which is designed within the initiative of modernizing Rwanda’s
Justice, Reconciliation, Law and Order Sector (JRLOS). It is intended to ensure improved access to and
transparency of justice information both for the government institutions and general public.
Moreover, the system aims at facilitating information sharing at key decision points, as well as to
improve efficiency and coordination of the police, prosecution, and court activities in the Republic of
Rwanda. Furthermore, it is intended to replace the paper-based case records and static spreadsheets
and workflows with their computerized counterparts in order to enable full reproduction of cases
along with case proceeding information in the event of loss or physical damage of the case file.
The main objective of Rwanda IECMS is to serve as a centralized and unique database for all justice
sector institutions, including the Rwanda National Police (RNP), National Public Prosecution Authority
(NPPA), Rwanda Judiciary (RJ), and Rwanda Correctional Services (RCS). Also, it is a sector-wide
platform to assist all the officials accessing the system to have an easy and ad-hoc access to the
information required for processing the cases and implementing day-to-day operations. Rwanda
IECMS is intended to help to standardize case record information storage and to streamline current
processes, and, thus, ensure more effective follow-up at different levels. It is also the main database
and data collection and reporting system as it guarantees effective access to the case data, promotes
accountability, and increases public trust and confidence.
Rwanda IECMS consists of the following applications, each dedicated to one justice agency and used
to handle their business processes:
•

Rwanda National Police

•

Rwanda National Public Prosecution Authority

•

Rwanda Judiciary

•

Rwanda Correctional Service

•

Civil Litigation Service

The Task module within Rwanda IECMS is designed to facilitate the communication between the
officers from different institutions engaged in the same case processing. It gives the opportunity to
record the activities to be carried out by the respective official within the organization that the task
initiator belongs to or by an official from a different institution. The module allows tracking the task
implementation from the day it is initiated till the day it is completed.
In the current design, the Task form consists of the following sections:
•

The General Information section is used to add and display information on the tasks to be
implemented during the case processing. The information to be provided in this section
includes the task details, such as the task subject, the case the task is related to, people
responsible for the task implementation, etc.

•

The Notes / Attachments section is used to record additional comments and issues related
to the given task, as well as attach supporting documents and other files. The task workflow
details are also presented in this section.

•

The History section of is used to view information on access to the given task record and the
changes made to it.

Rwanda IECMS provides a web-based user interface and requires having a web browser pre-installed.
