Launch of the Digital FDI Rwanda Report

Digital Foreign Direct Investment (DFDI) is one of the most effective instruments for turning economic reform into jobs, exports, and productivity. It bundles capital with know-how, platforms, infrastructure, and skills, and it rewards jurisdictions that offer clear rules on data, payments, licensing, and market access. Rwanda illustrates this proposition well.

The DFDI Rwanda Report prepared by the Digital Cooperation Organization translates a rigorous diagnostic into a sequenced program that aligns regulatory improvements, streamlines approvals, and advances a bankable project pipeline across connectivity, cloud and data infrastructure, digital services, and talent (refer appendix below). By launching this report on the sideline of #MWC25 Kigali, and by drawing on a comparative lesson from Pakistan’s previous launch where the DFDI Forum helped catalyze announcements of USD 700 million in digital investment, the Government of Rwanda and the DCO aim to convene governments, development finance institutions, and leading firms around an actionable agenda that converts visibility into transactions, and transactions into measurable outcomes for citizens and firms.
