President Paul Kagame on Saturday chaired the 7th meeting of the Presidential Advisory Council (PAC), which discussed innovative financing with a view to expanding access to appropriate external resources in order to drive development and achieve national targets, without increasing dependency.

As is the practice, discussions at PAC are aimed at identifying new and practical interventions that continue to drive Rwanda’s socioeconomic development, particularly in meeting Rwanda’s Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy, Vision 2020 as well as the MDGs.

PAC comprises 21 members, all prominent Rwandans and friends of Rwanda, and was established by President Kagame in September 2007 to provide high-level advice on key strategic issues related to Rwanda’s economic development.
