Rwanda is banking on the completion of the first two phases of its special economic zone in Kigali to add 6,000 jobs to the economy.
“The first phase of the Kigali Special Economic Zone has created 3,124 casual and permanent jobs,” said Annette Karenzi, the director-general for Industry and Enterprise Development at the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
