Rwanda: Donor dependency soon to be a thing of the past
Annually, for the past eight years the government of Rwanda, and its development partners hold a Development Partners Meeting (DPM). The main purpose of the meeting according to organisers is policy dialogue, where the government openly engages in dialogue with donors on major policy issues as well as facilitate the strategic orientation of their partnerships. It is in this regard that the Rwandan government and over 400 of its development partners are meeting under the theme, “Beyond aid: innovation mechanism for financing the EDPRS.” A theme that fully encompasses Rwanda’s economic vision , which is based on thinking outside the box of donor dependency in perpetuity.
