Rwanda

Rwanda has become one of Africa's fastest-growing and best-governed economies, rebuilt from the catastrophe of the 1994 genocide into a stable, low-corruption state aspiring to be a regional services and technology hub.

Densely populated and resource-poor, it has invested in services, tourism, and infrastructure, earning praise for development and order, though under a tightly controlling government.

Key Sectors

The economy rests on agriculture (coffee and tea are key exports), services and tourism (gorilla trekking is a major draw), and a deliberately cultivated technology and conference sector centered on Kigali.
