āSelf-reliance is in many aspects, itās not just in technology and different systems. Self-reliance goes into other areas, even of governance. In Rwanda there are so many things we have done in areas of governance and service delivery, some people will wonder whether we donāt have more resources than we are known for. How does a poor country get to be here? That is delivered by that mindset of self-reliance.
Do whatever you can within your means, there are people who have the means and they canāt deliver. In fact, some people have a lot, in terms of means and they donāt deliver much. Itās a question of how do you want to approach the problem, it doesnāt matter the size. Rwanda is not by any standard a big country, we are one of the smallest countries in the world but that does not stop us looking around for what we can do within our means, and doing it.ā President Kagame | Press Conference
WATCH: āPeople should ask why people die, not why what is killing them is banned.ā
