The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda is the main provider of official statistics for the country and the majority of datasets are available on their website: http://www.statistics.gov.rw/publications

But there are also several other websites/services where you can find or request Rwandan data: http://www.devinfo.statistics.gov.rw/di7web/libraries/aspx/Home.aspx http://www.devinfo.statistics.gov.rw/di7web/libraries/aspx/RegStructure.aspx http://www.devinfo.org/devinforwanda/libraries/aspx/Home.aspx http://data.gov.rw/ (under development) http://data.un.org/countryData/Data/Show/RWA http://data.worldbank.org/country/rwanda

All new laws passed by the Rwandan parliament are 'gazetted' and then published on the website of the Office of the Prime Minister in PDF form. Unfortunately the gazettes can each contain several laws passed on a single date so this can make it more complicated to find the correct law that you are looking for as they are indexed by the date of the gazette rather than by the title of the legislation.

Rwandan legislation is published in all three of the official national languages: English, French and Kinyarwanda.

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) provides a national map of Rwanda but this has not been updated since 2012 so does not satisfy the criteria for this dataset: http://www.statistics.gov.rw/publications/all/Map

NISR also provides GIS datasets and shapefiles for the country's national, provincial, district, sector and cell level boundaries on their website at http://www.statistics.gov.rw/geodata
