Content Management System (CMS)

All Government of Rwanda websites should be developed using TYPO3, an open-source, enterprise-level Content Management System (CMS). TYPO3 has been selected for its reliability, scalability, and security features, which make it particularly suitable for government websites.

Why TYPO3?

Security and Compliance
TYPO3 provides advanced security features, including user access controls, secure workflows, and compliance with data protection standards essential for government institutions handling sensitive information.

Scalability and Performance
TYPO3 can handle large, high-traffic websites and complex content structures, ensuring consistent performance as government portals grow.

Multilingual Support
With Rwanda’s multilingual context (Kinyarwanda, English, French), TYPO3 offers built-in localization tools to manage content in multiple languages, improving accessibility for all citizens.

Consistency and Standardization
Using TYPO3 ensures that all government websites follow a unified structure and design approach, simplifying maintenance and updates across institutions.

Local Capacity and Open Source
TYPO3 is open-source, which reduces licensing costs and allows customization to meet government needs. Local developers are trained in TYPO3, supporting local expertise and sustainability.
