“Much effort will be directed to the performance contracts that are meant to promote social economic development like land consolidation,” he highlighted.
Egide Ngabonziza, a resident said residents need to change their attitude in order to achieve fast development.
“Residents need to change their mindset and embrace land consolidation as a way to increase yields and improved livelihoods,” he said.
