Rwanda is probably best-known today because of the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi people by their Hutu neighbors in the early 1990s.  Since the official end of the war, Rwanda has faced ongoing economic and social fall-out, including remaining militia forces and large numbers of refugees.  As the nation struggles to rebuild, the emphasis is on creating sustainable institutions and building economic and social capacity.
