A delegation of fifteen parliamentarians from Australia, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Canada, Czech Republic, India, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zealand and Niger visited Rwanda from January 31 to February 2, 2006. 

The delegation was received by the President of the Rwandan Senate and the speaker of the House, as well as the Word Bank office in Kigali.  Rwandan parliamentarians accompanied the delegation members to project site visits.

The MPs were confronted by the full horror of the genocide and its effect on Rwanda's development, especially on the visit of the genocide memorial and their meetings with former child combatants. They also had the opportunity to assess progress made towards primary education and healthcare services through the visits of both rural and urban local school; and a tour in a medical center.
