The objective of this research was to assess the level of cooperation between local leaders and district partners through environment related performance contracts. It has been conducted among local leaders and partners of Gisagara district located in Southern province of Rwanda. 128 respondents including 72 local leaders and 56 respondents from districts partners have participated in this research. Findings revealed that performance contracts increase the level of awareness, participation and cooperation to solve environment related issues among stakeholders in Gisagara district. In fact, 91.4% of respondents confirmed that they know at least one or more than one performance contract related to environment in Gisagara district. 46.43% of respondents from district partners informed that they have contributed in the identification of performance contract related to environment, while 66.07% have participated in the execution of activities linked to those performance contracts.\u00a0 The level of cooperation between district partners and local leaders during various phases of performance contracts depends on various factors: institutions\u2019 mandate, capacity, power and commitment to contribute on the performance contract. In addition to the improvement of cooperation between local leaders and district partners, it has been concluded that performance contracts approach support to hold public officials and district partners accountable, through the setting and achievement of goals (\u201cImihigo\u201d).
