  • (Smes). These Smes Face Difficulties in Their Establishment and Functioning
    FOREWORD The economic development of a country goes through development of its Medium and Small Enterprises (SMEs). These SMEs face difficulties in their establishment and functioning. They come up against different problems but the critical one is lack of information on operational credits be in Rwanda or abroad. Being aware of the importance that the private sector plays in economic development of the country and referring to suggestions made by participants during the official launching ceremony of the first edition, CAPMER has elaborated the second edition of the booklet on sources for financing Small and Medium Enterprises in Rwanda. This booklet deals with different types of financing that SME can access to in Rwanda such as credits from commercial banks, operational guarantee fund, the existing funding programmes in the form of competition of business plans, funds meant for micr finance institutions with purpose of financing the economically poor people who can not access to classical credits, joint ventures, franchising, different types of financing such as leasing, exporting financing, etc. This guide calls mainly upon economic action-oriented agents who figure out becoming entrepreneurs or want to get financing in a bid to implement their ideas of project. It’s meant for micro finance institutions so as to improve conditions of refinancing their activities.

  • Learning from Role Models in Rwanda: Incoherent Emulation In
    Learning from Role Models in Rwanda: Incoherent emulation in the construction of a Neoliberal Developmental State By Pritish Behuria ABSTRACT In the 21st century, developing country policymakers are offered different market-led role models and varied interpretations of ‘developmental state role models’. Despite this confusion, African countries pursue emulative strategies for different purposes – whether they may be for economic transformation (in line with developmental state strategies), market-led reforms or simply to signal the implementation of ‘best practices’ to please donors. Rwanda has been lauded for the country’s economic recovery since the 1994 genocide, with international financial institutions and heterodox scholars both praising different facets of its development strategy. This paper argues that Rwanda is an example of a country that has simultaneously pursued emulative strategies for different purposes – often even within the same sector. This paper examines the Rwandan government’s emulation of different role models for varied purposes. Two studies of emulation are explored: the emulation of Singapore’s Economic Development Board (RDB) through the establishment of Rwanda’s own Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the evolution of Rwanda’s financial sector with reference to the use of contending market-led and developmental state models. The paper argues that in Rwanda, incoherent emulation for different purposes has resulted in contradictory tensions within its development strategy and the construction of a neoliberal developmental state. Introduction To catch up with developing countries, governments often choose to emulate the experiences, institutions and strategies of advanced countries. Karl Marx highlighted the opportunities associated with emulating the successes of early developers in reference to Germany’s latecomer status in the context of industrial transformations in England.

  • “East Asian Miracle” in Africa? : a Case Study Analysis of the Rwandan Governance Reform Process Since 2000
    Chasing the “East Asian Miracle” in Africa? : A case study analysis of the Rwandan governance reform process since 2000 Francis Gaudreault A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Public Administration Faculty of Social Sciences School of Political Studies University of Ottawa © Francis Gaudreault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 To Amandine My better half, literally ii iii Abstract In the last few decades, many governments around the world—especially in emerging economies—have strayed from neoliberal prescriptions to get closer to a model originating from East Asia: the developmental state. These East Asian countries (Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan) instead of just regulating market mechanisms, have exercised strong control over their economies and society through highly-ambitious long-term economic and social development programs implemented in tight partnership with the private sector. Indeed, this phenomenon is worth exploring when we ask the question of how governance and political economy is evolving in the world and what are the new approaches that can inform governments. This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the evolution of strategies for social and economic development and more specifically on the emergence of developmental states in Africa. By looking at the case of Rwanda that is often considered as a success story in Africa, the aim of this thesis is to show how much this state is transforming its institutions in line with a model that resembles the developmental state, but with its specificities and perspective. Based on a large selection of primary sources gathered in Rwanda between 2015 and 2016, we argue that the system of governance of Rwanda has evolved in a different direction than the typical neo-liberal model often advocated by the West and is following a developmentalist approach much closer to some early East Asian developmental states.
