The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, will today begin her three day visit to Rwanda, her first since she came to the helm of the institution in 2011. In an e-mail correspondence with The New Times’ Kenneth Agutamba, Lagarde sheds light on her institution’s current relationship with Rwanda and commends the country’s transformative and inclusive policies that have seen a significant decline in poverty levels.
You come here 20 years after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. In your view, what has been the trigger for Rwanda’s rapid economic renaissance?
My main message to Rwanda is that “Good policies pay off.” Let me set this in a broader context by saying that I am very happy to have the opportunity to visit Rwanda at such a pivotal moment in its history. The horrific events that occurred 20 years ago tore the social and economic fabric of the country, and it is uplifting to see the progress in rebuilding, in peace efforts, and in improving the welfare of all Rwandans.
This truly is an example in terms of social and economic transformation. It proves that effective policies and inclusive growth can be transformational.
The economic performance has been remarkable, with strong annual growth for the past 15 years. This has helped Rwanda make progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The poorest have benefited from a focus on inclusive growth, with the poverty rate falling to 45 per cent of the population in 2011 from 60 per cent in 2000.
Of course, this rate is still high, but it is definite progress and we see the trend continuing. So, while there has not been a magic bullet or a single trigger, a holistic approach, that also included a focus on the agricultural sector, employment, and gender equality, has been instrumental in sharing the fruits of high growth more widely.
What is the status of IMF relations in Rwanda at present?
We have a very close economic policy dialogue and the IMF is currently supporting the government with a Policy Support Instrument (PSI) – designed for low-income countries that have graduated from financial support but still seek to maintain a close policy dialogue.
The PSI signals the strength of a country’s policies to donors, multilateral development banks, and markets. We also provide technical assistance as part of the Fund’s efforts to increase local capacity and know-how. We have an office in Kigali, where a resident representative, currently Mitra Farahbaksh, ensures our presence in the field.
Rwanda’s PSI, which is in its second year, supports Rwanda’s own policy priorities for strong and inclusive growth, with an emphasis on domestic resource mobilization, private sector development, export diversification, regional integration, and financial sector development.
We recently reviewed this programme and welcomed the country’s continued strong performance. We also agreed with the government that more work needs to be done to further reduce Rwanda’s reliance on aid and increase its resilience to external shocks.
What is your economic outlook for the country between now and 2020?
Our outlook for Rwanda is positive. The economy is recovering from a weak performance in agriculture and delays in related project implementation in recent years. Growth rebounded last year and inflation remains well contained. We expect GDP growth rates to rise gradually towards 7-7.5 per cent in the medium term, while inflation remains within the medium-term target of 5 per cent.
I am particularly impressed with the government’s continued commitment to poverty reduction.
As part of my stay here, I will be visiting the Agaseke Handicraft Cooperative and the ICT hub (knowledge Lab) in Kigali to see firsthand how the government has managed to improve the welfare of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups such as women and youth.
As your readers are aware, the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy for 2013–18 focuses on economic transformation, rural development, and youth employment. The strategy is rightly aimed at further reducing poverty.
I think that the continued rollout of planned measures and the successful inclusion of the private sector in leading economic development will help make sizeable inroads in making growth even more inclusive and in reducing inequality.
In a recent advisory by the IMF Board, they encouraged Rwanda to widen its tax base and put emphasis on domestic revenue sourcing. What is your advice on this?
We are devoting a significant portion of our technical assistance to support Rwanda’s efforts to reduce its dependence on foreign aid. The focus is appropriately on widening the tax base – not higher taxes, but all paying a fair share.
The government has already made significant progress in the areas of revenue administration.
The push to increase the number of registered VAT payers through the introduction of electronic billing machines, and the switch in the collection of local taxes and fees from the local governments to the revenue authority, should be useful in bringing more businesses under the tax system.
The introduction of tax regimes for agriculture and mining, and improvements in property taxation, should also help achieve the goal of providing budgetary resources for key expenditures, particularly those aimed at scaling up social spending and infrastructure in a context where donor resources are likely to be limited.
Lately, Rwanda has taken to raising money through bonds, do you think this is viable?
Rwanda’s successful Euro-bond issuance in 2013 demonstrated that market financing can play a complementary role in financing investment plans. Several other African countries have followed suit over the past year.
The key is to ensure that Rwanda’s debt remains sustainable. I welcome the government’s commitment to fully explore concessional financing options and private sector participation before considering the use of non-concessional resources.
At the same time, the government’s decision to begin issuing domestic currency bonds in 2014 was an important step in the process of developing and deepening local capital markets.
www.newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2015-01-26/185319/
Creating jobs remains a high priority for this country, but as you know the private sector is also still young. What should Rwanda do to address these two issues?
On private sector development, Rwanda’s potential depends critically on full implementation of ongoing reforms to attract foreign investment and boost exports. These include reducing the cost of doing business; improving infrastructure; supporting skills development; and tapping into regional markets.
The increased provision of lower-cost electricity and improved transportation should help facilitate diversification and business development.
On creating jobs, the government has identified three key priorities: skills development, the fostering of entrepreneurship for small- and medium-sized enterprises, and supporting household enterprises. We at the Fund share this emphasis on building the capacity of Africa’s greatest resource–its people. Increased investment in infrastructure can help put people to work.
The IMF’s latest Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa projects regional GDP growth to pick up from about 5 per cent in 2013/14 to 5.75 per cent in 2015. That isn’t a big leap, is it? Can you elaborate on this?
Sub-Saharan Africa has made impressive progress over the past two decades, with growth averaging around 5 per cent. We expect that to continue in 2015, despite the impact of lower oil prices on some of Africa’s major oil exporting economies.
So there has been real progress, as growth has allowed for reducing poverty and improving living conditions.
For example, the number of people living on less than $1.25 a day in Africa has fallen significantly since 1990. But extreme poverty remains unacceptably high and not all countries are making progress. Some countries are still facing internal conflict and/or fragility.
Looking ahead, there are a number of longer-term demographic, technological and environmental challenges that need to be addressed in order to realise the ‘big leap’ that you refer to.
For instance, how can we tap into the productive capacity of Africa’s youth? How can Africa take advantage of technological innovation?
And how can we address the implications of climate change? Three broad policy priorities are crucial: building infrastructure, building institutions, and building people. Africa must also strengthen its institutional and governance frameworks to better manage its vast resources.
But the focus must be on people—with programmes aimed at boosting health and education and other essential social services. In fact, Rwanda is one of the countries that are effectively implementing policies in many of these areas.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has dealt a major blow to several African economies in the region. Can the effects of this blow spread to other parts of the continent?
The Ebola outbreak is a severe human, social and economic crisis that requires a resolute response. And the focus must be on isolating the virus, not the countries.
Strong efforts are underway in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, but it is unlikely to be brought under control before the second half of 2015.
The economic outlook for these countries has already worsened since September, when the IMF disbursed $130 million to the (three) countries to boost their response to the outbreak.
If the outbreak remains limited to the three countries, the economic outlook for the rest of sub-Saharan Africa remains favourable. Some neighbouring countries like The Gambia have seen an impact on tourism.
We are working with the governments of the three affected countries to provide additional interest-free financing of about $160 million, and expect our Board to make a decision in the next few days.
Following the endorsement by the G-20 leaders in Australia, we are also looking at further options to provide additional support to the Ebola-hit countries, including through the provision of donor-supported debt relief.
International oil prices have been tumbling, is this good for Rwanda and the other members of the EAC?
Indeed, oil prices have fallen recently, affecting both oil producers and consumers. Overall, we see the price decline as positive for the global economy. As an oil importer, Rwanda and indeed the East Africa region should benefit given that lower prices will most likely have a positive impact on growth whilst also easing inflation.
Countries can make use of this window of opportunity to reduce universal energy subsidies and use the savings toward more targeted transfers that benefit the poor.
Recently, the East African Community, a regional bloc to which Rwanda subscribes, reached a landmark Economic Partnership agreement (Epa) with Europe. Do you think that these countries need such agreements?
The EPA is designed to enhance commercial and economic relations, supporting a new trading dynamic in the region and deepening cooperation in trade and investment. It can serve as an important instrument of development in many respects.
It can promote sustained growth, increase the productive capacity of EAC economies, foster diversification and competitiveness, and, of course, boost trade, investment and employment. Rwanda is a key member of the EAC that has worked hard to create a conducive and transparent business environment. So it should benefit from this agreement.

The 19th Ersatz Division fought on the Western Front in the Battle of the Frontiers, seeing action in Lorraine. With occasional rests, it remained in the trench-lines in Lorraine until October 1916. It was then in the line near Verdun until July 1918. That month, it went into the line near Reims. It was there when it met the Allied Aisne-Marne Offensive, part of the Second Battle of the Marne.
After the severe fighting there, the Division left the line for rest and reconstruction. In late August, it fought against the Allied Oise-Aisne Offensive. It was then returned to a quiet sector in Lorraine, where it remained until the end of the war. Allied intelligence rated the Division as third class.

Part of a letter from John Frederick of Belleville, Wisconsin, to family members in Belleville, Ontario in 1850.
"John Homan Esquire
Belleville
C.W"
[I'm posting two contrasting letters today. The other one shows how a fellow asked his girl out on a date before the invention of the telephone. This one is a soldier's bitter response to a "Dear John" letter.]
Portsmouth [Va.] Dec 27th [1864]
Oh dear don't time fly. I am quite grey already.
Your letter, after a period of ten days since its writing, has at length been received. I answer immediately.
Your letter was full of "slurs", "innuendoes" and such like, that I don't understand. They may come from a trifling disposition rather than from a malicious one. At least I want to think so. I wish rather our acquaintance had terminated in a more pleasant way. Such was my hope and intention. But it is all over and all is right.
The title of Madam is properly a married one but we can strain a point now and then; give it in doubtful cases without much harm to society or young ladies. Ah yes, if I see any of your relatives in this part of this state I shall, as you desire, tell them of you, "what shall I tell them."
Again as you say we don't understand one another, and you are remarkably truthful in that calculation, as in fact, you are at all times. I envy you, your discerning character.
I have not until quite recently found it a "practice to write to you." Lately there has been a piquancy about you that served me for many pleasant cogitations and quaint speculations as to what it could all be about. Before this period I mention, before your unbelief in me became a popular theory with you, I was always watching for and answering your letters with real pleasure. My recent letters have been written also with a view to find out what could really be the matter with you, but I give up the unsuccessful tack. But you might notwithstanding have given me some faint idea as to your real purpose. I might guess for instance "are you engaged to be married soon," have you joined church "Do you take the veil," or what is more than probable have you been giving ear to the cunning fabrications of our well beloved Cousin S. L. How is it?
Yes I often hear from my Brother in Columbus but what of that.
Well Miss or Madam as the case may be I wish you a Happy New Year "sure enough I reckon" as the natives here say.
Oh yes, I don't remember of your having ever before asked me for your two (or four) cards [carte de visite photographs]. "Honor bright," I think you gave them all to me, did you not? Are you going to take them back? I gave by your permission one to my sister who has it now in her album in New York. The other is in my Aunt's album in NY too. I can't send [them] to you until I can either write or get them myself, so have patience and your wounded personnel will be mollified. Your daguerreotype [probably a glass plate ambrotype photograph] I have here. Shall I send it or smash it into oblivion? Speak. Anything of this kind you may have of mine you can just pitch into the fire and watch it please until it resembles the ashes of our dead friendship.
Pardon me if I said aught in offense or that is not polite, for I am in a dreadful hurry.
I am yours Candidly,
F. P. D.
[Lieutenant Frank P. Dale, Company H, 3rd Ohio Infantry]

Letter from Basil Campbell to William Nisbet Ponton.
pp.5-6 "...us, all her crew were standing to their guns and although she passed & repassed us and we yelled ourselves hoarse not a man moved nor was a sound heard. More than one old timer had a quaver in his voice.
Just imagine appointing a rendezvous 8 or 9 hundred miles from land and keeping the tryst to the minute, all by wireless.
Just before three - hundreds of pairs of eyes scanning the horizon and then - 'there she is' a mere speck - a dot - a cloud of smoke and she was past not a quarter of a mile to starboard - then round astern and up on the port side. We were proud of her.
Col. Preston and all the other officers are well.
With kind regards to Mrs Ponton Miss Ponton and yourself
Yours sincerely

Church of St Brynach , Llanfrynach
Llanfrynach Church is in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, in the community of Llanfrynach in the county of Powys. It is located at Ordnance Survey national grid reference SO0752325791.
The church is recorded in the CPAT Historic Environment Record as number 16859 and this number should be quoted in all correspondence.
Summary
St Brynach's church is situated in the centre of Llanfrynach village some 4km from Brecon. It is a Victorian structure attached to a medieval tower and contains only a few items of interest, namely the only survivor of three early medieval stones found during the rebuilding of 1885 and a medieval font. The churchyard is large for a village church and may once have been more curvilinear than it now appears.
Tower is attributed to 14thC, though it is as likely to be 15thC, but rest of the building dates from 1885.
Parts of the following description are quoted from the 1979 publication The Buildings of Wales: Powys by Richard Haslam
History
An early medieval foundation here seems likely, though the dedication and the three reputedly sculptured stones apart there is no evidence to collaborate such a view.
The 1291 Taxatio records 'Ecclesia de Lambernach' at the unexceptional value of œ4 6s 8d.
The nave and chancel were replaced by a local builder, William Jones, in the Decorated style in 1885. The rood loft which functioned as a gallery according to Theophilus Jones was removed a this time and of three early medieval stones found at the time only one can now be located.
In 1864 the tower wall was broken through to create space for a set of pews for the de Winton family. A west window was created at the same time. The vestry was added in 1892, the tower was re-roofed in 1905, and internally the font was re-dressed in 1892.
Architecture
Llanfrynach comprises a nave with a slightly narrower chancel, a west tower of the same width as the nave, a north vestry with a boiler room underneath, and a south porch towards the south-west corner of the nave. It is aligned north-east/south-west but 'ecclesiastical east' is adopted here for descriptive purposes.
Fabrics: 'A' consists of greyish red sandstone, though with some variations in colour, in both blocks and slabs, irregularly coursed and with ashlar quoins. 'B' is of more regular blocks and slabs, less weathered, and randomly coursed. All this stone looks new and there are buff-yellow sandstone dressings.
Roof: reconstituted clay tiles. Cross finials on chancel and porch.
Drainage: there are no obvious signs other than downpipes into raised drain holes against the walls. It is possible that any trench around the wall has now grassed over.
Exterior
Tower. General. Fabric A. Wall faces are heavily pointed, obscuring the masonry. Certain features are consistent to all faces: there is a chamfered plinth at a height of 1m, a string-course in rounded section at 1.5m, a string-course defines the top of the second stage about two-thirds of the way up the tower, and a third with hollow moulding at the top of the belfry stage; above this is a battlemented parapet, which Griffiths of RCAHMW thought was modern. The whole tower is usually attributed to the 14thC.
North wall: at base of second stage is a trefoil-headed lancet of buff sandstone with a relieving arch over, completely Victorian, inserted. This stage also shows some possible plaster remnants. Belfry is lit by a four-centred arched window, the two lights having cusped tracery and louvre boards; some of the dressings renewed.
East wall: nave apex reaches to just below the second stage string-course. Third stage has standard belfry window but not possible to determine whether any of the dressings renewed. Two waterspouts on the string-course above.
South wall: second stage has an inserted Victorian window as in north wall. At the top of this stage there is also a slit window with unchamfered jambs and a lintel that is splayed on the underside. This slit is blocked up as is part of the standard belfry window in the third stage.
West wall: the second stage carries a large two-light window of Victorian date, and above it is a slit window with undercut lintel as on the south side. The standard belfry window has some renewed tracery, and there are two waterspouts on the string-course above.
Nave. General. Fabric 'B'. Plinth with chamfer at height of between 0.3m-0.6m. Windows of regular form and all have relieving arches in 'B'.
North wall: two two-light windows. Buttress overlies junction of nave and tower.
South wall: three two-light windows, having quatrefoils above, hoodmouldings with ballflower stops; two buttresses, one at south-east angle, the other overlapping tower wall as on the north.
Chancel. General. Similar to nave in terms of fabric, plinth, windows etc. The roof is lower by almost one metre.
North wall: almost completely disguised by vestry.
East wall: three-light window with cusped tracery, hoodmoulding with weathered human-headed stops, relieving arch; two diagonal buttresses at corners.
South wall: one two-light window with trefoiled heads, hoodmoulding with ballflower stops, relieving arch.
Vestry. General. Boiler house beneath with flight of steps leading down to it. Door plus windows are square-headed and the latter have lights with mock Caernarvon arches. Blocked window in east wall.
Porch. General. Fabric 'B'.
East wall: one trefoiled window with a 'decorative' relieving arch; buttress at south-east angle.
South wall: high-pitched gable end. Two-centred arched doorway with complex mouldings and a hoodmoulding with ballflower stops. Old gravestones leant against wall.
West wall: as east wall.
Interior
Porch. General. Stone flags for floor, plastered walls; roof of rafters with collars.
North wall: Gothic arched doorway with complex moulding and ballflower stops to the hoodmoulding. Plain wooden door.
East wall: small splayed window with stone bench beneath.
West wall: as east wall.
Tower. General. Floor is reached by two steps up from nave. Wooden floor with pews set on it. Plastered walls.
North wall: nothing significant.
East wall: high two-centred arch, chamfered on both faces but only above springing points. Early medieval stone (see below) attached to northern reveal.
South and west walls: nothing of significance.
Nave. General. Tiles, some decorated, and raised wooden floors under seats; no grilles or obvious heating ducts. Walls plastered and whitewashed. Roof of spaced scissor-trusses with collars.
North wall: splayed windows, two-centred arched doorway of Victorian form to vestry. Three mural tablets, one of 1763/1785, the other two 19thC.
East wall: high two-centred arch with stops and responds. Galvanised steel plaques bear Lord's Prayer and Ten Commandments.
South wall: splayed windows. Two mural tablets of 19thC and 20thC.
Chancel. General. One step up to chancel and two to altar. Tiled floor with carpets over. Roof as nave but no scissor trusses.
North wall: has organ against it and two 19thC mural tablets.
East wall: galvanised reredos painted with 'Art Noveau' angels on either side of altar.
South wall: 20thC mural tablet.
Churchyard
Llanfrynach churchyard is exceptionally large and flat. Its present shape is sub-square and there is no evidence to indicate an earlier fossilised boundary.
It is overgrown on the east and north sides where there are fewer burial, but the areas of more recent burials are better maintained.
Boundary: the perimeter is defined by a stone wall, replaced by breeze block walling at the north-west angle.
Monuments: their spread is irregular. The area north-west of the church is currently in use, there is a single row east of the chancel, 19thC groups to the south of the church, and further graveslabs have been cleared and are now set against the east and much of the north wall of the churchyard.
Furniture: a churchyard cross, but of the 20thC, having been copied from one at Merthyr Mawr, Glamorgan, in 1910.
Earthworks: church is set on a slight platform, visible at the eastern end and around part of the north side. The earlier bank of the churchyard can be seen running about 2m outside the present eastern perimeter wall.
Ancillary features: small, double iron gates at the western corner, similar gates with the addition of a kissing gate on the south, both served by tarmac paths. On the south-east opposite the pub is a stone stile and on the north-east access from Ty-mawr was provided by a mock crenellated gateway; both of these served by grass paths. The rectory was linked to the church by a vertical stone stile in the north wall.
Vegetation: there are a number of large pines and deciduous trees on the north side of the churchyard and yews form both sides of an avenue running from the porch to the south gate with a few more by the grass path leading eastwards.

We love this sticker, it says "Always cool, that's you and me."
I am catching up on letters to my very neglected penpals Tanja, Heidi and Gitte ... I am sorry for the long wait you guys! Edna is helping me get the envelopes ready and choosing some stickers for the envelopes.

A small detachment of men from an unidentified formation wearing camouflage coats and helmet covers probably in the winter of 1915.
The problem of adequate camouflage in the field became ever more important as static trench warfare dragged on. Patrols in particular had to be well camouflaged from the enemy. To this end, starting during the first winter, troops fighting in snowy areas were issued white snow-coats.
