It appears that the will and the clear vision of the leadership in Rwanda were one of the central pillars of the very good economic and social performances in Rwanda. This is particularly important because the country has almost no natural resources and the economy and its fundamentals were completely destroyed by the 1994 genocide. This paper thus helps enrich the various economic growth models by stressing the importance of the quality of leadership.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGAGRICULTUREALLOCATION OF RESOURCESARABLE LANDBAD GOVERNANCEBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANKING SYSTEMBENEFICIARYBIRTH RATESBROAD MONEYBUDGET DEFICITBUDGETINGBUSINESS COMMUNITYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS OPERATIONSCAPITAL FORMATIONCDFCENTRAL BANKCHECKSCHLORINECITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL WARCLIMATE CHANGECOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMPETITIVENESSCREDIT CONTRACTCRIMECRISESCUSTODYDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC PROCESSESDETERMINANTS OF GROWTHDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT PLANSDIRECT INVESTMENTDISARMAMENTDISCRIMINATIONDUMMY VARIABLEDURABLEECONOMETRICSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EFFECTSECONOMIC GEOGRAPHYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC RESOURCESECONOMIC STRUCTUREECONOMICSELASTICITYEMPIRICAL STUDIESENABLING ENVIRONMENTENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEXCHANGE RATEEXPENDITUREEXPORTSEXTREME POVERTYFIGHTING CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL DISCIPLINEFISCAL POLICIESFOREIGN AIDFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSGDPGDP PER CAPITAGENOCIDEGLOBALIZATIONGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT REVENUESGOVERNMENT TRANSFER PAYMENTSGREENHOUSE GASESGROWTH MODELSGROWTH PERFORMANCEGROWTH RATEGUARANTEE FUNDSHIVHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPACTS OF POVERTYINCOMEINEQUALITYINFLATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINSTRUMENTINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL MARKETINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT RATESJUDICIAL REFORMSKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLEGAL REFORMSLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF POVERTYLIFE EXPECTANCYLIQUIDITYLOCAL BUSINESSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL LEVELSLOCAL POPULATIONLONG-TERM INVESTMENTM2MACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCEMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMACROECONOMIC STABILIZATIONMACROECONOMICSMODERNIZATIONMONETARY FUNDMONETARY POLICYMONEY MARKETMULTILATERAL INSTITUTIONSNATURAL RESOURCESOFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEOFFICIAL POLICYPEACEPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY-MAKING PROCESSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INSTITUTIONSPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL STABILITYPOST CONFLICT RECONSTRUCTIONPRACTITIONERSPRICE CONTROLSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPROGRESSPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC SERVICESREAL GDPRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSELF-CONFIDENCESERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSTRUCTURAL PROBLEMSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTHTAXTAX BASETAX COLLECTIONTAX REVENUETAX REVENUESTAX SYSTEMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTATIONTREASURYTRUST FUNDURBANIZATIONVICTIMSVULNERABILITYWEALTHWORKFORCEYOUTHWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/28051
