The population of this study was characterized by top, middle and bottom level employees in SNV Rwanda chosen basing on the level they occupy in the managerial

The study also portrayed a significant and a positive relationship between human resource development and employee performance In SNV Rwanda. The researcher recommends that both on- the — job and off- the-job human resource development methods and programmes should be used in order to acquaint employees with both theoretical and practical knowledge, skills, abilities and other competences they need to perform up to the company expectations. Rigorous and extensive training needs assessment should be conducted before taking employees for training and further studies in order to ensure that
opportunities both off and on the job should be carefully evaluated. This can be done by encouraging them to document reports entailing areas where they are now more competent so that they are tested In order to weigh the stock of knowledge they have acquired and plan for them accordingly.
