Use CRN 90777 to register

2014 marked 20 years since the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. Today, Rwanda has achieved all of the health-related UN Millennium Development Goals and has greatly increased the average life expectancy of its citizens. The country is regarded as a development success story by most in the international community. This course will cover the genocide and progress since as well as cultural issues, the upcoming elections, the strength of government institutions, and key local and regional actors in international development. In addition to coverage of political, economic, and social issues in Rwanda, participants will build self-awareness necessary to perform well in non-familiar, cross-cultural work environments. Students will learn about Rwanda’s many successes as well as its goals and modern challenges.

This course is required for MIIS students taking DPMI Rwanda in January.
