Rwanda Day 2019: Hon Soraya Hakuziyaremye: Minister of Trade and Industry

"Made in Rwanda is actually a tool that allows us as a country to remain competitive economically, to remain self-reliant as a country by producing locally what we need and also changing the mindset about products that we consume, buy or sell. Why can't we make those products our sales as Rwanda?" "

Made in Rwanda is a good initiative. But in order to make it successfull, the government should put more effort in financing and implementing research in RWANDA. To make a product, there is a big, long research which is made first. Because what we do actually, to me (ça n'engage que moi) is like assembling other people's art, ideas, and make from it a product, for exemple: in fashion, many designs has no originality (material, style...) they do not reflect any originality of RWANDA, like what we see in KENYA for exemple, when you see kenyan shoes, you immediately know that they are from KENYA, due to design, materials (seads, leather,...). I think originality is needed, for the country to make products that can get success in foreign countries too. To achieve this, research ni many doamins is needed, and strong education.
