The main objective of this paper is to assess the effect of effective management of donors’ fund on ICT sectordevelopment in Rwanda.A Purposive sampling have been used to select employees in charge of ICT in higher learning institutions,Broadband Systems Corporation Ltd (BSC Ltd) staff, Rwanda Information Society Authority (RISA) staff ,MINECOFIN projects implementation unit staff and Rwanda Development Board single project implementation unitstaff. In total 24 employees from these institutions contributed to this research through responding elaboratedquestionnaire and by the mean of interview. Purposively six students responded to the questionnaire.The questionnaire and an interview guide were used to collect primary data and were analyzed using StatisticalPackage for Social sciences, descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted as research approach. Qualitative datawas treated through sound content analysis.Results from the research found the following: It has been observed that the total budget of USD 24.M allocated tofinance the Rwandan ICT sector was executed up to 99.54% and all components have been implemented at asatisfactorily rate by both the World Bank and the Government of Rwanda. This high finance performance ratecaused a radical change in ICT Sector development whereby after the project implementation period elapsed, anumber of ICT sector development indicators proved a tremendous shift. One of those indicators is mobilesubscriptions and internet subscriptions that increased 217 % and 1,000% respectively. The cost of internationalinternet connectivity got an up-down shift from $10,000 in 2008 up to $125 in 2014. Both physical and financialproject implementation indicators evidenced the close relationship or the causality of ICT sector development givenan effective funds management. Finally, the Pearson coefficient of 0.814** that was obtained from testing bothvariables of this study resulted in positive high correlation between donors’ funds management and the ICT sectordevelopment.

The findings show that the tax authority has limitations in using technologies to modernize the tax administration, poor the tax collection capacity. The Tax to GDP ratio of the country is low as compared to the sub-Saharan countries. There are different factors for the poor tax collection performance; weak enforcement and low tax audit coverage, and lack of strong cooperation with stakeholders. The government has weaknesses in the management public resources. The tax authority should use different Medias to create taxpayers awareness about tax, should strengthen its tax enforcement department to bring non taxpayers to the tax net.

The determinants of quality of life can be social, economic, cultural, and governmental, to name a few. Prior research has shown that demographic factors and social support can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. This research attempts to examine the effects of public sector health system performance on individuals’ quality of life in China, measured by (1) self-reported health, (2) depressed mood, and (3) happiness. The targeted population was individuals aged 18 and above. The primary data was collected from the CGSS2015 (Chinese General Social Survey 2015), and the National Statistical Yearbook was also used. Using various statistical models, this study finds that the correlation coefficients of government performance in providing healthcare for patients on quality of life are 0.144, 0.167, and 0.328, respectively. The more satisfied with medical care and public health delivered by the government, the higher the level of quality of life. In addition, the relationship between government expenditure on public health service and quality of life is positively significant. These findings are robust after weighting methods are used. The performance of the Public Sector Health System has a significantly positive association with quality of life in China.

ABSTRACT   Banana fruit is a commodity that contributes a great value to both national and international fruit production achievement. The government through the National Standardization Agency establishes standards to maintain the quality of bananas. The purpose of this Project is to classify the stages of maturity of Ambon banana base on the color index using Naïve Bayes method in accordance with the regulations of SNI 7422:2009. Naive Bayes is used as a method in the classification process by comparing the probability values generated from the variable value of each model to determine the stage of Ambon banana maturity. The data used is the primary data image of 105 pieces of Ambon banana. By using 3 models which consists of different variables obtained the same greatest average accuracy by using the 2nd model which has 9 variable values (r, g, b, v, * a, * b, entropy, energy, and homogeneity) and the 3rd model has 7 variable values (r, g, b, v , * a, entropy and homogeneity) that is 90.48%.   Keywords: banana maturity, classification, image processing     ABSTRAK   Buah pisang merupakan komoditas yang memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap angka produksi buah nasional maupun internasional. Pemerintah melalui Badan Standarisasi Nasional menetapkan standar untuk buah pisang, menjaga mutu  buah pisang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah klasifikasi tahapan kematangan dari buah pisang ambon berdasarkan indeks warna menggunakan metode Naïve Bayes  sesuai dengan SNI 7422:2009. Naive bayes digunakan sebagai metode dalam proses pengklasifikasian dengan cara membandingkan nilai probabilitas yang dihasilkan dari nilai variabel penduga setiap model untuk menentukan tahap kematangan pisang ambon. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer citra pisang ambon sebanyak 105. Dengan menggunakan 3 buah model yang terdiri dari variabel penduga yang berbeda didapatkan akurasi rata-rata terbesar yang sama yaitu dengan menggunakan model ke-2 yang mempunyai 9 nilai variabel (r, g, b, v, *a, *b, entropi, energi, dan homogenitas) dan model ke-3 yang mempunyai 7 nilai variabel (r, g, b, v, *a, entropi dan homogenitas) yaitu sebesar 90.48%.   Kata Kunci : kematangan pisang,  klasifikasi, pengolahan citra
