Rwanda will still be categorised as a least developed country by 2025 according to new projections by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad).

This assertion is at variance with Rwanda’s Vision 2020 which set a per capita income target of $1,240 by 2020, which government officials say is still achievable.
