Muraho,
I have to apologize for an oversight in my post on Rwanda's economy. As a student of business, its easy to just focus on the hard numbers of GDP growth, per capita incomes, and strategic industries. While those figures are important and play a critical role in the transformation of an economy, one can't ignore the human aspect of development. If those important macro figures don't translate to poverty alleviation and better standards of living for the average citizen, then what's the point? That said, a good friend showed me that my last post failed to mention these indicators. I was remiss and I hope that the data below adequately illustrates the human side of Rwanda's economic development. I chose indicators that roughly resemble those of the Millennium Development Goals and I pulled the data from World Bank.
Human and Environmental Indicators of Rwanda
Turongera,
Chris
