Rwanda has achieved impressive development gains since the 1994 genocide and civil war. It is now consolidating gains in social development and accelerating growth and, ensuring that gains are broadly shared to mitigate risks to eroding its hard-won political and social stability. Central to Rwanda’s goal of ensuring inclusive development is the implementation of its 2006 Fiscal and Financial Decentralization Policy, which aims to provide equitable, efficient and effective pro-poor service delivery, while promoting local development in an environment of good governance. It seeks to foster citizens’ participation and empowerment as well as transparency and (upward/downward) accountability. Rwanda’s approach to promoting inclusive and stable politics and governance appears to be working. The country is at peace and among the most stable on the continent.
