| Summary: | Rwanda’s government and private sector
took a bold step towards achieving a critical reform agenda
with the design and implementationof a single window for
international trade system. This implementation marked the
first successful collaboration among Rwanda’s numerous
agencies that over see the country’s cross-border trade.
Addressing the demands of a diverse group of stakeholders
was certainly daunting, but effective stakeholder engagement
and change management efforts have produced results that are
exerting a major impact on the efficiency of goods into and
transiting Rwanda. Driving the Single Window project was an
aspiration for greater collaboration at the level of
government-to-government, business-to business and
government-to-business. Rwanda’s membership in the East
African Community, which is a Single Customs Territory was
another critical factor. By addressing national needs and
incorporating a regional focus and outreach in the
management of cargo, the Rwanda Electronic Single Window has
achieved success. |
