Context
Rwanda has guarded its political stability since the devastating turmoil that culminated into 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, where approximately 1,000,000 lives were taken in 100 days. Parliamentary elections in September 2018 saw women fill 61% of seats.
Economic Overview
Rwanda now aspires to Middle Income Country status by 2035 and High-Income Country status by 2050. It plans to achieve this through a series of seven-year National Strategies for Transformation (NST1), underpinned by sectoral strategies focused on meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The NST1 followed two, five-year strategies (2008–12) and (2013–18), during which Rwanda experienced robust economic and social performance. Growth averaged 7.2% a year over the decade to 2019, while per capita gross domestic product (GDP) grew at 5%.
Strong economic growth was accompanied by substantial improvements in living standards. Rwanda was one of two countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that achieved all the health Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): Under-five mortality declined sharply between 2000 and 2020 and the maternal mortality ratio also dropped, as did the total fertility rate (from an increase in access to modern contraception).
A strong focus on homegrown policies and initiatives has contributed to significant improvement in access to services and human development indicators.

Kigali City is a gem!
Kigali City is a gem!
Are you a qualified teacher looking for a new adventure in Africa? Do you want to work in an international school in Rwanda and live in a city that has it all? If so, you should move to Kigali, the capital and largest city of Rwanda.
Kigali is a modern and progressive city that is safe, clean, and green. Here are some of the reasons why we love living here:
Kigali is in the heart of Rwanda, on a series of hills and valleys, with good roads to the rest of the country. You can easily explore the stunning nature of Rwanda, such as the gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park, the chimpanzees in the Nyungwe Forest National Park, and the wildlife in the Akagera National Park.
Kigali is a green capital city, with many parks, gardens, and trees. It is also one of the cleanest cities in Africa, thanks to Umuganda, a monthly community service day where everyone helps to clean, plant, or build. Kigali also has a pleasant climate, with an average temperature of 21°C (70°F) all year round.
Kigali has a vibrant and diverse culture, with a growing art scene, a variety of restaurants and bars, many with great views, and a lively nightlife. You can also visit the Kigali Cultural Village, where you can find local crafts and food. Kigali also hosts many festivals and events throughout the year, such as the Kigali Jazz Festival, the Kigali Fashion Week, and the Kigali International Peace Marathon.
Kigali is a friendly and hospitable city, where you will meet warm and welcoming people from different backgrounds. You will also have the chance to learn some Kinyarwanda, the official language of Rwanda. Most people also speak English or French in Kigali.
Kigali is a city of resilience and hope, where you can see how the people have overcome the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and rebuilt their country. You can visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which honours the victims and educates visitors about genocide prevention. You can also see how Kigali is developing fast, with new malls, offices, and a convention centre that lights up the night.
As you can see, Kigali is an amazing place to live for many reasons. It is a city that offers quality of life, culture, and community. If you are interested in working in an international school in Rwanda, please contact us today.
Don’t miss this chance to live and work in one of the most beautiful cities in Africa!
