Rwanda
This information comes from the assessment conducted in country for the Rwanda report in February 2008.
In the economic arena, so much is going well in Rwanda. Behind a growth rate of 6 percent in 2007, and realistic external projections for up to 6.5 percent growth in the near future, there is a remarkably intensive, informed, and carefully implemented agenda for reform. Together, Rwanda’s government, private sector, professional communities, NGOs and workforce – along with a large donor community – are striving to overcome a legacy of poverty, one that is uniquely complicated by the country’s recent history of war and genocide.
