Vision

• Vision 2020The major aspiration of Vision 2020
  is to transform Rwandas economy into a middle
  income country, this will require an annual
  growth rate of at least 7. This will not be
  achieved unless we transform from a subsistence
  agriculture economy to a knowledge-based society,
  with high levels of savings and private
  investment, thereby reducing the countrys
  dependence on external aid.
