Practice and standards
What the law requires of architects in Rwanda, what RIA requires in addition, and what happens when those requirements are not met.
Everything in this section is published as text. Signed originals are attached beneath each document as evidence, not in place of it, so that the content can be searched, quoted, read aloud, and linked to at the level of a particular clause. That is a deliberate change from how RIA has published regulatory material until now.
