INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to describe how the Dashboard section of the Rwanda Integrated
Electronic Case Management System (Rwanda IECMS) application functions and to provide the
necessary instructions to ensure successful work with the application. Use of this documents and
compliance with the standards specified herein is mandatory for anyone working with the mentioned
application.

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 IECMS | Dashboard | User Manual
INTEGRATED CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM OF IRAQ | Personal Information | User Manual

• Rwanda Judiciary
• Rwanda Correctional Service
• Civil Litigation Service

The Dashboard section in Rwanda IECMS is designed to provide a visual, at-a-glance insight into the
data to be analyzed, thus, giving the decision-makers the possibility to leverage information assets in
real-time through visually rich, responsive and personalized business intelligence dashboards.
Moreover, it removes the limitations on report development giving the possibility to view various
types of reports, such as lists, charts, maps, and reports, displayed in a user-friendly environment on
a dashboard.

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