HARARE, Apr. 1 (NewsDay Live) — Rwanda has harnessed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and mobile platforms to empower genocide survivors and marginalised communities in the post-genocide era, Rwandan Ambassador to Zimbabwe, James Musoni, has said.
Speaking ahead of the 32nd commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Musoni told NewsDay that Rwanda is now globally recognised for its rapid digitalisation.
The media engagement offered an opportunity to reflect on the country’s reconstruction, with particular focus on the upcoming commemoration.
“Technology is a critical component of national development,” Musoni said.
“ICT fits within a broader development policy framework, enabling programmes to be implemented more efficiently, at scale, and with speed. In Rwanda, it has become a key driver of social and economic transformation. Genocide survivors, in particular, have benefited through improved registration systems, access to services, and information dissemination.”
Also addressing the engagement, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Edward Kallon highlighted Rwanda’s recovery trajectory.
Kallon said the country faced near-total institutional collapse in the immediate aftermath of the 1994 genocide but has since made significant progress through deliberate and strategic national policies.
