Book excerpt: Ten years after the 1994 genocidein which an estimated 10 percent of the country's population perishedRwanda's devastated education system is now back on its feet. Classrooms have been repaired and new ones built; teachers who fled the mayhem have been reintegrated into the teaching force; arrears in teacher pay have been cleared up; a Genocide Fund has been created specifically to assist orphans; and, in higher education, the system has been diversified and new arrangements for student finance have been introduced. This success notwithstanding, the task of transforming the rapid recovery into sustained progress over time has only just begun.A priority will be to ensure that all Rwandan children can complete a full course of primary schooling of reasonable quality; and that expansion at the post-primary levels occurs at a pace commensurate with the labor market's capacity to absorb highly educated job seekers. Achieving this will present tough tradeoffs in financing and service delivery, including combining increased funding for primary education with greater reliance on private financing at other levels; sharper targeting of public subsidies for education; and tighter management of classroom processes to improve student flow and student learning throughout the system.'Education in Rwanda' explores the challenges of sustaining educational progress in a fiscally viable fashion as the country makes the transition from post-conflict recovery to long-term development.
Book Synopsis Building Science, Technology, and Innovation Capacity in Rwanda by : Alfred J. Watkins
Download or read book Building Science, Technology, and Innovation Capacity in Rwanda written by Alfred J. Watkins and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even a subsistence agricultural economy such as Rwanda needs to develop science, technology and innovation (STI) capacity if it hopes to solve such everyday, practical problems as providing energy and clean drinking water to rural villages, and competing in the global economy by producing and selling higher value goods and services. This book provides new insights into the capacity building process and shows that STI capacity building is not a luxury activity suitable primarily for wealthy countries but an absolute necessity for poor countries that hope to become richer.

Book Synopsis The Failure to Prevent Genocide in Rwanda by : Frederik Grünfeld
Download or read book The Failure to Prevent Genocide in Rwanda written by Frederik Grünfeld and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about the failure to prevent genocide in Rwanda in 1994. In particular, the research focuses on why the early warnings of an emerging genocide were not translated into early preventative action. The warnings were well documented by the most authoritative source, the Canadian U.N. peace-keeping commander General Romeo Dallaire and sent to the leading political civil servants in New York. The communications and the decisionmaking are scrutinized, i.e., who received what messages at what time, to whom the messages were forwarded and which (non-) decisions were taken in response to the alarming reports of weapon deliveries and atrocities. This book makes clear that this genocide could have been prevented. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Technical Assistance Report discusses the findings and recommendations made by the IMF mission to assist Rwandan authorities in compiling annual government finance statistics (GFS) for the general government for FY2015/16 and high-frequency GFS for the budgetary central government and central government. It was observed that the annual GFS compilation is on track and even exceeding the expectations. The compilation of high frequency data should now be the focus of the authorities’ efforts. Quarterly Central Government data are expected to be compiled within 60 days for FY2017/18. Monthly BCG data are already compiled within 30 days from end of the period. In both cases, the Rwandan authorities have made some initial progress.

Book Synopsis Biogas systems in Rwanda – A critical review by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Biogas systems in Rwanda – A critical review written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying sustainable sources of renewable energy is key to ensuring that countries can grow on a sustainable path that also meets climate change targets as outlined in countries’ NDCs. Among renewables, bioenergy can attract investments in the rural sector and help farmers to improve their income by increasing agricultural production and diversifying markets for by-products, such as digestate. FAO’s Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Approach assists countries in defining which bioenergy options can be both sustainable and viable while ensuring food security and protecting the environment.In Rwanda the agriculture sector plays a key role in its economy, contributing around one-third of the country’s GDP and employing approximately 70 percent of the working population. The livestock sector is an important economic sector and agriculture sub-subsector. Driving change through this sector can provide win-win solutions to achieve poverty reduction targets.Bringing in the energy facet through bioenergy options such as biogas can further corroborate these strategies by also addressing energy access and energy substitution targets.After the genocide, the government worked on re-establishing the livestock sector, and in 2003 the poverty reduction strategy flagged developing a biogas programme as one of the elements the country should pursue. The programme has been ongoing until recently when a detailed review of the sector was implemented due to the relatively limited number of households implementing the systems. This report aims to shed some light on the issues around biogas viability in Rwanda and how to possibly strengthen biogas in the country.
Book Synopsis Introduction to Rwanda by : Gilad James, PhD
Download or read book Introduction to Rwanda written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rwanda is a small landlocked country located in Central-East Africa. It has a total land area of 26,338 square kilometers and is bordered by Uganda to the north, Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west. The population is predominantly composed of three ethnic groups: the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. The country experienced a major genocide in 1994, resulting in the deaths of approximately 800,000 people, mainly Tutsi. The genocide shattered the country's economic and social infrastructure, leading to a long period of recovery and reconstruction. Since then, Rwanda has undergone significant transformation and is emerging as one of Africa's success stories. The government has prioritized modernizing the agriculture sector, promoting investment in infrastructure, and reducing corruption. Rwanda has also embraced technology, becoming a hub for information communication and innovation. The country is now known for its initiatives such as the Kigali Innovation City, which aims to create jobs through attracting tech companies to set up shop in the country. While there are still challenges, Rwanda is making strides towards becoming a prosperous and thriving nation.

Book Synopsis Future Drivers of Growth in Rwanda by : The World Bank;Government of Rwanda
Download or read book Future Drivers of Growth in Rwanda written by The World Bank;Government of Rwanda and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong and widely acknowledged record of economic success-including a three-and-a-half-fold increase in per capita income since 1994--places Rwanda among the world’s fastest--growing economies. Traumatic memories of the 1994 genocide are gradually fading, as associations begin to take a more positive form--of a nation on the rise, powered by human resilience, a sense of common purpose, and a purposeful government. Past successes and a sense of frailty have fueled aspirations for a secure, prosperous, and modern future. Sustaining high rates of economic growth is at the heart of these ambitions. Recent formulations of the nation’s Vision 2050 set a target of achieving upper-middle-income status by 2035 and high-income status by 2050. Future Drivers of Growth in Rwanda: Innovation, Integration, Agglomeration, and Competition, a joint undertaking by experts from Rwanda and the World Bank Group, evaluates the country’s possibilities and options in this endeavor. The report identifies four essential drivers of growth--innovation, integration, agglomeration, and competition--and reforms in six priority areas: human capital development, export dynamism and regional integration, well-managed urbanization, competitive domestic enterprises, agricultural modernization, and capable and accountable public institutions.
Book Synopsis Who Must Die in Rwanda's Genocide? by : Kyrsten Sinema
Download or read book Who Must Die in Rwanda's Genocide? written by Kyrsten Sinema and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a juridical, sociopolitical history of the evolution of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Over one million citizens were massacred in less than 100 days via a highly organized, efficiently executed genocide throughout the tiny country of Rwanda. While genocide is not a unique phenomenon in modern times, a genocide like Rwanda’s is unique. Unlike most genocides, wherein a government plans and executes mass murder of a targeted portion of its population, asking merely that the majority population look the other way, or at most, provide no harbor to the targeted population (ex: Germany), the Rwandan government relied heavily on the civilian population to not only politically support, but actively engage in the acts of genocide committed over the 100 days throughout the spring of 1994. This book seeks to understand why and how the Rwandan genocide occurred. It analyzes the colonial roots of modern Rwandan government and the development of the political “state of exception” created in Rwanda that ultimately allowed the sovereign to dehumanize the minority Tutsi population and execute the most efficient genocide in modern history.
Book Synopsis Reflections on the Economy of Rwanda by : Augustin Ngirabatware
Download or read book Reflections on the Economy of Rwanda written by Augustin Ngirabatware and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance figures achieved by the Rwandan economy for the past three decades demonstrate an exceptional growth in real GDP. They are of real interest for economists because Rwanda has been in a state of almost perpetual war during that time, whether through internal conflict or through international wars conducted directly or through proxies and militias. This book examines the accuracy of these figures and asks why, despite such growth, Rwanda remains a country of marked inequality and poverty.
Book Synopsis Transitional Justice in Rwanda by : Gerald Gahima
Download or read book Transitional Justice in Rwanda written by Gerald Gahima and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitional Justice in Rwanda: Accountability for Atrocity comprehensively analyzes the full range of the transitional justice processes undertaken for the Rwandan genocide. Drawing on the author’s extensive professional experience as the principal justice policy maker and the leading law enforcement officer in Rwanda from 1996-2003, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the social, political and legal challenges faced by Rwanda in the aftermath of the genocide and the aspirations and legacy of transitional justice. The book explores the role played by the accountability processes not just in pursuing accountability but also in shaping the reconstruction of Rwanda’s institutions of democratic governance and political reconciliation. Central to this exploration will be the examination of whether or not transitional justice in Rwanda has contributed to a foundational rule of law reform process. While recognizing the necessity of pursuing accountability for mass atrocity, the book argues that a maximal approach to accountability for genocide may undermine the promotion of core objectives of transitional justice. Taking on one of the key questions facing practitioners and scholars of transitional justice today, the book suggests that the pursuit of mass accountability, particularly where socio-economic resources and legal capacity is limited, may destabilize the process of rule of law reform, endangering core human rights norms. Moreover, the book suggests that pursuing a strategy of mass accountability may undermine the process of democratic transition, particularly in a context where impunity for crimes committed by the victors of armed conflicts persists. Highlighting the ongoing democratic deficit in Rwanda and resulting political instability in the Great Lakes region, the book argues that the effectiveness of transitional justice ultimately hinges on the nature and success of political transition.
Book Synopsis Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda by : Marcel Uwineza, SJ
Download or read book Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda written by Marcel Uwineza, SJ and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive examination of the Catholic Church’s role in the genocide against the Tutsi and its attempts at reconciliation From April to July 1994, more than a million people were killed during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Tutsi men, women, and children were slaughtered by Hutu extremists in churches and school buildings, and their lifeless bodies were left rotting in these sacred places under the deep silence of church authorities. Pope Francis’s apology more than twenty years later presents the opportunity to reimagine the essence of the Church, the missionary enterprise, theology in its multiple dimensions, the purification of memory, and the place of human dignity in the Catholic faith. Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda critically examines the Church’s responsibility in Rwanda’s tragic history and opens the dialogue to construct a new theology. Contributors to this volume offer moving personal testimonies of their journeys to reconciling the evil that has marred the Church’s image: bystanders’ indifference to the suffering, despite their claim as members of the Church. The first volume of its kind, Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda is a necessary step toward the Rwandan Catholic Church and humanity’s restoration of fundamental peace and lasting reconciliation. Catholic clergy, lay people, and human rights advocates will benefit from this examination of ecclesial moral failure and subsequent reconciliatory efforts.
Book Synopsis Gender and Learning in Rwanda by : Shirley Randell
Download or read book Gender and Learning in Rwanda written by Shirley Randell and published by UTS ePRESS. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an unparalleled mix of aspiration and achievement, of feminist theory and practice. It does not claim to be complete or final, nor is it a snapshot of a single point in time. It falls into two parts. One part containing scholarly chapters written academics involved in developing and teaching in the innovative Master’s program in Gender, Culture and development offered from 2011 at the Kigali Institute of Education in Rwanda. The second part contains statements written by students in the first cohort, most of which have been revised and updated. All the contributions are informed by a set of common experiences, but each writer presents her (or his) own perspective. This is most clearly evident in the short chapters written by the women who brought their diverse scholarly backgrounds together in their passion for the scholarly development of other women and men, in an empowering, feminist, educational experience. This mix of experiences and the diversity of writings make the book a challenging read and an invaluable resource for anyone interested in research-based approaches to social change, the weaving of personal experience into scholarly reflections, and in insights into leaders in working towards gender equality, a policy area which affects social relationships throughout a society, including at the most intimate level.
