The World Bank - Towards 2020: ICT in Action in Rwanda

Featuring an interview with Rwanda's President Paul Kagame, this film illustrates how ICT serves as a cross-cutting enabler in helping Rwanda to achieve the 6 Pillars of its Vision 2020, and how the World Bank's eRwanda project is contributing to the process.

In its Vision 2020 plan, the Government of Rwanda aims to transform the country from a largely agriculture-based economy to a knowledge and information based economy, in an effort to reach middle income status by 2020. The Government has emphasized its intention to use investment in ICT as the key driver for this transition and as a vehicle for improving the delivery of public and private services, particularly in the rural areas.

The World Bank's eRwanda project emphasizes the use of technology as an enabler to growth and development, and focuses on core activities, applications and content which have the greatest impact for the citizens. The project aims to improve efficiency and effectiveness of some internal processes of the Government of Rwanda, as well as the delivery of social services in selected key sectors.

[AYA2020]

i am sorry to say this guys but your comments are truly pathetic, please be positive

enough with the "F" words and ethnic divisions among us, we are all RWANDANS !!!!....

[VIPblock]

ab435, ur comment is setting us back 100 yrs. We're trying to move forward and build the country TOGETHER. This whole "tutsi this and hutu that" is exactly what we're trying to eliminate from our speeches! The country is where it's at because of the collective effort of the ENTIRE population.

This is wonderful. As a black American living in the US I wish your country success. Please don't forget that you have to do this together. Not just for Rwandans, but for Africans, and black people all over the world. peace

It's this the kind of talk that led to genocide

your comment is poorWe don't need that

Hutu or Tutsi they are all my brothers and sisters.Our destiny is interconnected

Of course there are hard feelings after this genocide and many killings

But people of Rwanda,for the sake of our kid's future,let's now focus on what we know is possible

Folks,Hutu or Tutsi,know very well what will happen if we don't.We all have been there

We are one people.Turi abavandimwe.Laat ons geen olie op het vuur gooien

The language you use makes me wonder where you were raised from. Probably under Rocks. Rwanda rulimo gotera imbere. This is our century.

I think what Kagame had done for Rwanda is undeniable.

He is in Djibouti one of the most respected African leaders.

Progress is too obvious to deny it. An economic growth, one of Africa's safest country, the country where the women are most represented in the world, one of the least corrupt administartions ect...

Good luck on your way to 2020!

Il est temps que le spectre du genocide soit laisser derriere.

Tous mes souhaits de bonheur, de la part d'un frere Djiboutien!

I'm not a Rwandan, but Rwanda is a country I admire and respect deeply. The Rwandans prooved, under the regime of Kagame (I insist) that a nation that witnessed HORROR itself can be reborn, and be a place of progress.

I'm from Djibouti, and I was a kid when I was watching in front of my TV the Horrors of the genocide, but today, 14 years later, I'm more than glad to see the Rwandan Rennaissance.
