Source:

21 April 2012 - SITTING under the shade of a mango tree, Agnes Uyisabye is reviewing the lists of beneficiaries of the country's health insurance scheme alongside a dozen or so grassroots community health workers.

Uyisabye, 35, is a grassroots leader in Kansi sector, in southern Rwanda. For the last nine years, she has been in charge of social affairs in the local Umudugudu, Rwanda's smallest administrative unit, in this case overseeing 896 people spread across 204 households. It is an unpaid role but Uyisabye does not mind.
