Rwanda, Inc.

How a Devastated Nation Became an Economic Model for the Developing World. An investigation of how, less than two decades after the devastating genocide killed millions, Rwanda has become a model economy. With unlimited access to President Paul Kagame and his advisors, the authors present a leadership study, focusing on the practices that have lifted millions out of poverty. Nearly two decades after Rwanda's horrific genocide, the country has been transformed. High rises are going up in the capital city of Kigali; a newly established stock exchange is attracting investors; and the economy is transitioning from subsistence agriculture to information and communication technology. In pursuit of the alchemy that made Rwanda such an unlikely success story, Patricia Crisafulli and Andrea Redmond interviewed Rwandan government officials, including current president Paul Kagame, as well as business leaders, foreign investors, NGOs,and everyday civilians. In Rwanda,Inc. they look at the key factors that allowed this tiny country to beat the odds - including Rwanda's efforts to encourage private sector development and foster entrepreneurship, and how Kagame's unique leadership approach led to gains in health, education, and food sustainability. They also explore what the future holds for this resilient nation, and the steps it's taking to develop the next generation of public servants.With so many eyes on Africa as nations rebuild in the wake of the Arab Spring, this is a timely and fascinating look at what other emerging democracies can learn from Rwanda's triumph.
