Their Core Values
Excellence – Excellence" describes the outcomes of public service as they commit themselves to the standard of whatever they do. In order to achieve this, public servants must manifest such excellence within themselves. Staff development is an important aspect of striving towards excellence for the public service. Thus, public servants must possess a mindset for excellence that strives to be the best that one can be in his or her role.
Integrity –"Integrity" serves as the core of their beliefs and is the underlying foundation upon which the mission, goals and beliefs of the Public Service are built. Integrity enables them to safeguard the sovereignty, independence, security and prosperity of Rwanda, and uphold justice and equality.
The Rwandan Public Service commands a high level of trust among their citizens and foreign investors because of their integrity. Thus, it is imperative that the Public Service maintains this high standard of integrity in their conduct.
Accountability- Accountability is defined as demonstrating the ownership necessary for achieving desired results, employees make personal commitments — to their, colleagues, jobs and citizens and keeping those promises, they value the ability of their staff and Institutions to honor their commitments to get results for their citizens. They build trust with their citizens by delivering on their promises. Accountability involves a process of seeing it, owning it, solving it, and doing it, and requires a level of ownership that includes making, keeping, and answering for all commitments.
Team Sprit – They can only achieve or performance objectives if they work together as a team to pursuit excellence. They will pool their abilities to accomplish their shared objective. No matter how talented they are as individuals, without cooperation and team spirit they will be an institution in name only.
