The construction of the Kigali Cultural Village has finally started, several years on. Heavy machines are on the ground preparing for what promoters, say will be a living museum meant to preserve and display Rwanda’s cultural heritage.
“The project has four phases and the first, which is fully funded by the government has kicked off,” said Belise Kariza, the chief tourism officer at Rwanda Development Board, which is overseeing the project.
