Estos comentarios, sobre los días feriados en Ruanda, son in Ingles. Si tiene cualquiera pregunta sobre estos comentarios, por favor contáctanos. • Governing Law: Official public holidays in Rwanda are regulated by the Loi n° 51/2001 du 30 décembre 2001 (Labour Code) and specified by Presidential decrees, the most recent being the Arrêté présidentiel no 07/01 du 6 mars 1996 déterminant les jours fériés (Journal officiel, 1996-06-01, no 11, pp. 8-9), which abrogated the Arrêté présidentiel no 268/6/2 du 30 août 1973 déterminant les jours fériés and which was amended by the Presidential Order No 111/01 of 26 December 2003 determining public holidays.
• Umuganda is a nation-wide community work programme implemented by the local government ministry, to keep the capital Kigali, and vicinity, clean. The community work is mandatory for every one, every last Saturday of the month, from 7am to noon. During Umuganda time, businesses close and no public transport operates in Rwanda. Actually no one is allowed to leave his/her neighborhood until noon, and defying this rule without an official authorization could lead to immediate arrest. Umuganda is performed countrywide and involves the participation of all; including the president, top government ministers and other high ranking government officials who put aside their formal attire to physically clean up the country. The local population also uses this as an opportunity to mingle with government officials and ask questions to key decision makers on policies that directly affect them on a day to day basis.
• Genocide Memorial Day is part of Genocide Commemoration Week, which covers the 7 consecutive days from April 7 to 13 every year. Although not officially counted as public holidays, during these extra 6 days, the country is meant to stop and think about the 1994 genocide. Radio and Television stations, even privately owned ones, are only allowed to play programs relating to the genocide. In that context, many wealthy, and not so wealthy, Rwandans decide to spend the week abroad, and it might be difficult to meet with decision-makers. In any event, business entertainment during that period is out of the question.
• International Women's Day is an important event in Rwanda, on which date employers and employees take a 1-hour break from work to discuss the status of women, but it stopped being an official public holiday, starting in 2006 (despite some embassy site still listing it as one of Rwanda's official public holidays). |

Acatamiento: Las notas que se incluyen en la columna Observance indican que, en Ruanda, el día feriado podría ser regional, no oficial, estar limitado a determinadas religiones o grupos lingüísticos o no comenzar a la medianoche.

Calendarios Religiosos: Los días feriados basados en ciertos calendarios religiosos están sujetos a variaciones locales producidas por diferentes interpretaciones entre las distintas autoridades religiosas o a modificaciones aparentemente arbitrarias en la fecha en que se celebra el día feriado por entrar en conflicto con otra festividad que se calcula de acuerdo con otro calendario, o porque el día del feriado se considera desfavorable (de mala suerte). Para más información sobre estas dudas, consulte la nota al pie de página sobre cada religión en específico. |

Feriados Musulmanes: En Ruanda, los días feriados y días festivos musulmanes se calculan utilizando el calendario Umm al-Qura de Arabia Saudí, de utilización oficial en Arabia Saudí y de gran utilización en la mayoría de los estados del Golfo Pérsico. Estos días feriados podrían celebrarse un día después en los países que no estén dentro de la región del Golfo. Los amaneceres, atardeceres, fases lunares, salidas y puestas de la luna que se utilizan para hacer estos cálculos se basan en la posición geográfica de la Meca (latitud 21.42°N, longitud, 39.82°E, GMT+3 horas, sin horario de verano). Para más información sobre los feriados musulmanes, consulte la sección Feriados del calendario musulmán. Para ver los cálculos del Salat (horarios de las oraciones), consulte la página Freeware. |
