Profile of the New
Rwanda governance. Corruption is negligible. The crime rate is low. On the economic front, over the last decade, the Government has been firm in its economic stabilisation and recovery programmes. Among other things, Government has abolished export taxes, initiated tax regime reform, established an investment code; initiated rehabilitation of the banking sector; liberalised trade, currency and wage regimes; achieved full current account convertibility, entrenched property rights in the country's constitution; firmed up the independence of the Central Bank and launched the necessary restructuring and privatisation of public entities. The result of all these initiatives has been a buoyant economy with a GDP growth rate (at around 10%) described as one of the best on the continent over the last three years. The July 2003 UN Economic Report on Africa characterized Rwanda as one of the top three "Lion Cubs" alongside Mozambique and Uganda, on the basis of strong economic performance. Everything is being done to consolidate and expand on these economic gains. Experts believe this is possible because the economy is still virgin. Across all sectors, investment opportunities abound. In particular, investments are needed in value addition activities tapping into the country's agricultural, mining and tourism resources. By leveraging its strategic location, as the centre of a consumer market of nearly 50 million people, Rwanda is also working to become the Dubai of Central Africa. To achieve this, a Free Economic Processing Zone to house General Merchandise, Light and Heavy industry economic activities is at an advanced stage of implementation. We invite you to buy into this proposition. Ishema Hotel and Rwanda as a Tourism Destination
The transport system in Rwanda centers primarily around the road network, with paved roads between the capital, Kigali and most other major cities and towns in the country. Rwanda is also linked by an important road for trade, with other East African countries. The country has an international airport at Kigali, serving domestic and several International destinations Rwanda's countryside is covered by grasslands and small farms extending to over-rolling hills, with areas of rugged mountains that extend southeast from a chain of volcanoes in the northwest. The divide between the Congo and Nile drainage systems extends from north to south through western Rwanda at an average elevation of almost 9,000 feet (2,740 m). On the western slopes of this ridgeline, the land slopes abruptly toward Lake Kivu and the Ruzizi River valley, and constitutes part of the Great Rift Valley. The eastern slopes are more moderate, with rolling hills extending across central uplands at gradually reducing altitudes, to the plains, swamps, and lakes of the eastern border region. Rwanda is made up of five Provinces, that is, the Northen, Southern, Eastern, Westerna and Kigali City; and each Province has several districts. Musanze district, found in the Northern Province, and bordering Uganda at Chanika outlet, is dominated by high mountains and over hanged by a chain of volcanoes with the climax being Karisimbi summit with 4507 meters of altitude. With average altitude of 2000m, the entire Northern Province abounds in varied diversity of fauna and flora. Musanze district is the home of home of the rare mountain gorilla - and bamboo forests. Also within the district, are lovely Lakes, and these include; Lakes Burera, Ruhondo and Karago. Musanze offers a good selection of reasonably-priced small and medium hotels and guest houses. The natural beauty of Musanze District has made it the most favored location, for both local and international tourists. Every year, the district hosts a very important ceremony of naming new born gorillas, commonly known as KWITA IZINA. The increasing numbers of tourists visiting the district has encouraged a number of potential investors, to invest in the tourism and hospitality related facilities and services. The Diocese of Shyira, under the leadership of Bishop John Rucyahana, has made considerable investment by putting up Ishema Hotel. Ishema is a Kinyadwanda word, meaning; "We pride in excellence".
