Abstract
The sound economic and governance performance in Rwanda has attracted wide attention in the international community. A lot of research into its specific policies has been done to look at the reasons behind the success of Rwanda. From the perspective of party politics, it’s success can be equated with that of the governance model of a party-centered country. Rwanda’s ruling party, the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), has led the country in achieving strong economic development by enhancing it’s power, strong will for development and pragmatic and flexible policy choices. The RPF’s success can shed light
for latecomer countries in terms of economic development and governance.
