JICA iherutse kwizihiza imyaka 10 imaze mu Rwanda. Byari bimeze gute mugitangira?

Dushishikariza abantu tukanabafasha kwisanga mu bikorwa by’iterambere rusange, nk’urugero; dufasha abahoze mu ngabo bamugariye ku rugamba kwisanga mu bikorwa by’iterambere ndetse dufasha mu guteza imbere amasomo y’ubumenyingiro kuva icyo gihe, bityo tukongera umubare w’abantu bakora mu nganda mu Rwanda.
Mumaze imyaka 10 mu Rwanda, umusaruro wa JICA ni uwuhe?

Iyo tuvuze kubaka ubushobozi bisobanuye guha ubumenyi abantu ndetse n’inzego. Ubufasha mu kubaka ibikorwa remezo no gutanga ubumenyi bwo kubyigezaho byagize umusaruro mwiza mu byiciro binyuranye by’ubuzima. Urugero, twafashije kubaka amariba n’imiyoboro igeza amazi meza ku baturage mu Ntara y’Iburasirazuba, tunigisha abaturage babikoresha uburyo bwiza bwo kubungabunga aya mariba n’imiyoboro y’amazi.

Ni iki Abanyarwanda bakwitega kuri JICA mu gihe kiri imbere?
Takahiro Moriya: Twe dukorera muri gahunda zisanzwe z’igihugu ziba zarumvikanyweho na Guverinoma z’ibihugu byombi kandi bigendanye na ziriya nkingi enye navuze haruguru. Urebye nazo ziri muri gahunda za Leta ya vision 2020 na EDPRS ya kabiri. Rero ibyo dufite gukora mu gihe kiri imbere uruhare runini ni urw’igihugu cyanyu kuko icyerekezo cyanyu n’imirongo mwashyizeho nibyo natwe tujyana nabyo.
Ariko no ku rwego rw’isi hari umurongo mpuzamahanga mushya wa “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) ibikorwa byacu bijyana nawo. Urebye ni uko dufasha igihugu mu kwiyubaka tunyuze muri gahunda n’inzira igihugu cyashyizeho.

JICA se hari icyo iri gukora mu guteza imbere business(ubushabitsi) mu Rwanda?
Takahiro Moriya: Njyewe maze imyaka itatu hano, muri iyo myaka itatu ibigo bitandukanye by’abikorera byo mu Buyapani byaje gukorera mu Rwanda. Ibindi nabyo byakomeje kuza hano kureba uko byatangiza ibikorwa byabo.

Nk’urugero rufatika ni aho umwe mu bakorerabushake ba JICA yarangije ikivi cye agataha ariko nyuma akagaruka mu Rwanda agashinga business hano muri uyu mwaka. Muri uyu mwaka kandi Abayapani bafunguye restaurants ebyiri muri Kigali.

Muri gahunda nshya ya Guverinoma y’Ubuyapani hatangijwe ABE Initiative (Africa Business Education for Youth Initiative),  JICA yahaye buruse abanyarwanda 16, cyane cyane bo mu bikorera, kujya kwiga muri kaminuza zo mu Buyapani bahabwa n’amahirwe y’amahugurwa muri kompanyi z’abikorera mu Buyapani. Ndizera ko nibagaruka mu Rwanda, bazaba ikiraro hagati y’inzego z’abikorera mu bihugu byombi.

Dukorana kandi n’Urugaga rw’abikorera (PSF), by’umwihariko mu gice cyayo cy’ikoranabuhanga ( ICT Chamber). Mu kwezi kwa cyenda, twateguye urugendo mu Buyapani rwo gushishikariza kompanyi zigenga z’Abayapani gukorana na kompanyi za ICT zo mu Rwanda. Nizeye ko abandi Bayapani benshi bikorera bifuza gukora ibi.

Ikiraro kigezweho cya Rusumo n’inyubako z’umupaka umwe hagati y’u Rwanda na Tanzania ni umushinga munini Ubuyapani, biciye muri JICA, bwateye inkunga, ese hari indi mishinga nk’iriya mufite imbere?

Takahiro Moriya: Uretse uriya mushinga hari indi mishinga myinshi y’ingenzi dukora, urugero ni umushinga wo kubaka uburyo bwo kuhira imyaka uri mu karere ka Ngoma turi gukorana na kompanyi y’ubwubatsi yo mu Buyapani.
Twanubatse kandi amariba n’imiyoboro ubu bigeza amazi meza ku baturage 130 000 mu Ntara y’Iburasirazuba. Turi gutera inkunga kandi uburyo bwo gukwirakwiza amashanyarazi no kuri za stations nto.
Urebye dufite kandi dukomeje gufasha imishinga myinshi y’ingenzi kandi y’iterambere, cyane cyane ry’ibikorwa remezo.

Abayapani babona bate u Rwanda n’akamaro k’inkunga yabo ku Rwanda?
Takahiro Moriya: Mu Buyapani abantu bishimira ubucuti hagati y’u Rwanda n’Ubuyapani, uretse ubucuti gusa banishimira ubufatanye mu bintu bitandukanye ndetse no mu bikorera.
Bishimira cyane uko u Rwanda ruhagaze niyo mpamvu ubona hari kompanyi z’Abayapani nyinshi zifuza cyane kuza gukorera business mu Rwanda.
Amahoro n’ituze bihari bishimisha cyane kandi bigakurura abikorera b’Abayapani.

Hashize hafi imyaka 50 Ubuyapani n’u Rwanda ari ibihugu bifitanye ubucuti n’ubutwererane, ese hari icyo Ubuyapani bwo bwungukiye kuri ubwo bucuti n’uwo mubano?
Takahiro Moriya: Mu myuaka ishize ibihugu byombi byaciye mu bihe bikomeye, ntabwo byari byoroshye gukomeza umubano, niyo mpamvu urebye icyakorwaga ubu ari ukubanza gukomeza (gukomera) ubufatanye, ubu rero Ubuyapani bwiteze byinshi ku Rwanda mu myaka iri imbere.
Gusa dusubiye inyuma mu 2011 umwaka wakomereye cyane Ubuyapani kuko umutingito ukomeye washegeshe ibice bimwe by’igihugu , igihugu cyanyu cyohereje muba mbere ubutumwa bwo gukomeza Ubuyapani, ni ikintu Abayapani bishimiye cyane.
