The country, which was traumatized by the 1994 genocide, has achieved amazing social and economic reconstruction in more than two decades, and has become a model of stability and development on the African continent. The capital, Kigali, is known as "Africa's Cleanest City" for its cleanliness and greenness. Rwanda's economy is based on agriculture, with coffee and tea being the main export crops, while tourism is booming due to the mountain gorillas (in the Volcanoes National Park), attracting nature lovers from around the world. The government pursues an aggressive digitalization policy, leading Africa in mobile payment penetration, while focusing on gender equality, with women leading the world in the percentage of women in parliament. Today, Rwanda presents the world with rebirth and hope, labeled by unity, resilience and sustainable development.
