Rwanda, a small landlocked country in East Africa, is in the midst of a multi-year effort to transform itself from a subsistence agrarian society into a knowledge-based economy. In order to achieve the goals defined by VISION 2020, the Rwandan government established an Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy. The remainder of this case study will examine how the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) is working with One Laptop per Child (OLPC) to meet these objectives.
