Commitments
The GOR further acknowledges that the young population of Rwanda can be transformed into
an asset by adding value to human resources and provide the environment for utilizing these
resources for socio-economic development process ---- and that ICTs could play a major role
in this area.
The GOR is therefore fully committed to putting in place and facilitating the implementation of
a comprehensive human resource development programme to support the development of the
Rwandan information society and economy. The GOR firmly believes that: human resource is
the ultimate resource – more so for a nation like Rwanda without key natural resources. The
development of people to support the process of moving Rwanda into an information society
and economy is therefore top priority of the Government and the crucial role that ICTs can play
in this area is fully recognized and promoted by the government.
