The present Private Sector Development and Youth Employment Strategy (PSDYES) seeks to increase the competitiveness of the Rwandan economy for the period 2018-2024. This will improve the trade balance both by recapturing parts of the Rwandan market from imports and by improving the ability of Rwandan producers to compete in exports markets, creating productive jobs in dynamic and resilient firms. There are four policy objectives: increased private investment, both local and FDI; increased off-farm job creation; improved trade balance and increased diversification of the export base; and increased productivity and innovation in priority value chains. The PSDYES centres on two key initiatives, which embody the spirit of value chain promotion and cross-GOR coordination, namely the Growth Anchor Firm Initiative (GAFI) and the Domestic Supplier Development Unit (DSDU). Finally, the PSDYES is built upon consultations with the private sector and a data-driven methodology utilizing various surveys carried out to elicit deeper understanding of the nature of the constraints faced by the different segments of the private sector in Rwanda.
