The Rwanda Vision 2020 is a reflection of Rwanda's aspiration and determination, to construct a united, democratic and inclusive Rwandan identity, after so many years of authoritarian and exclusivist dispensation. This Vision aims to transform the country into a middle-income nation in which Rwandans are healthier, educated and generally more prosperous. Rwanda seeks to become more united and competitive both regionally and globally.
To achieve this, the Vision 2020 identifies six interwoven pillars, including good governance and an efficient State, skilled human capital, vibrant private sector, world class physical infrastructure and modern agriculture and livestock, all geared towards prospering in national, regional and global markets. Alongside the 6 pillars, there are three cross-cutting areas of gender, environment and climate change; and science and technology.
This Vision is a result of a national consultative process both at inception, between 1997 and 2000 and in 2012 when the Vision was revised. The discussions and debates involved Rwandans from all walks of life, including leadership from all levels in the business community, government, academia and civil society.
Rwanda Vision 2020, published in 2000, is also available on the GGKP National Document Database.
