“…Mientras la apropiación se da en etapas vitales diferentes en cada caso, la objetivación/incorporación concierne a las relaciones de cada usuario y muestra distintas estrategias para administrar los sentidos asociados al uso de la aplicación. En otro trabajo centrado en la domesticación de una aplicación, en este caso, las billeteras digitales (m-money) entre los granjeros de Ruanda, Uwamariya et al (2021) analizan las dificultades que puede encontrar la adopción de un servicio de estas características en un país no desarrollado, más allá de los beneficios que podría suponer su uso. Factores como la falta de sencillez en la registración, los costos del servicio y la claridad respecto a los mismos, así como la existencia de agencias en las cuales hacer efectivas las transacciones en las cercanías de los lugares de residencia (e incluso la disponibilidad de dinero en efectivo en estas), son aspectos por considerar.…”

Ya han transcurrido veinticinco años desde que Roger Silverstone y otros investigadores propusieran a la domesticación —es decir, el proceso por el cual una especie animal o vegetal es transformada con el objeto de convivir con el ser humano— como una metáfora apropiada para comprender los modos en que los dispositivos tecnológicos son incorporados a la vida cotidiana de las personas, iniciando así el recorrido del modelo de domesticación de tecnologías. Esta propuesta resultó sumamente productiva en términos teóricos y empíricos, dando lugar a un conjunto de reflexiones e indagaciones que se convirtieron en parte del trasfondo habitual de la investigación acerca de los procesos de apropiación de tecnologías que se realiza desde una perspectiva sociocultural. Esta revisión presenta los principales lineamientos de su enfoque, reseña los resultados de las investigaciones que ha suscitado y discute sus límites y las adaptaciones necesarias para dar cuenta de los fenómenos tecnocomunicativos actuales

“…Despite some success in driving Rwanda's servicesbased strategy and making some progress in encouraging manufacturing (particularly the agroprocessing sector), the sustainability of the growth of these sectors remains vulnerable (Uwamariya, 2018). Though business tourism -through heavy investments in the Kigali Convention Centre and Rwandair -has increased, there has been limited attention to supporting domestic linkages (with manufacturing and agriculture) that accompany increased demand for domestically produced goods (Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, 2019).…”

Rwanda is a landlocked country situated in Central Africa, bordered to the North by Uganda, to the East by Tanzania, to the South by Burundi and to the West by the Democratic Republic of Congo. Considered to be among the smallest countries on the continent, Rwanda's total area is estimated to be 26,338 KM 2 . According to Rwanda's National Institute of Statistics (NISR), in 2015, the population density in Rwanda was estimated to be 445 people per KM 2 and the total population is approximately 11,809,295 according to 2017 NISR projection. Also known as the 'Land of a thousand hills', Rwanda is situated at an altitude ranging between 1,000 m above sea level in the eastern part to 4,500 m of the Karisimbi, the country's highest mountain near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With an estimated population of about 12 million people (NISR, 2019 estimates), 52% of which are women, Rwanda has one of highest population densities in Africa (458.75/Km2). With over 40% of the population under the age of 30 (RPHC, 2012), Rwanda also boasts of one of the most youthful populations on the continent. With the support of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, Rwanda has been able to make important economic and structural reforms and sustain its economic growth rates over the last decade. Rwanda has made good progress over the last two decades since the enormous challenges faced in the aftermath of a genocide against the Tutsi that destroyed the entire social and economic fabric of this country. Rwandans have benefited from rapid economic growth, reduced poverty and the equality and increased access to services including health and education. This has been possible through the strong leadership under H.E Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda and vision through high level commitment by government of Rwanda. More to this is Rwandan people choice as can be seen the leadership attributes behind Rwanda's transformation change and continuity. Rwanda's institutions evolved and developed into stronger, stable and sustainable in such a way that their efficiency have become a culture a rarity among many African countries. The aim of the study was to assess how Rwanda has fared with respect to economic transformation over the past 27 years and suggest recommendations for accelerating its progress. In this study, we not only analysed the trends in Rwanda's economic indicators over time, but also reviewed the policies that underlined the observed trends, with the aim of giving policy explanations and policy recommendations to accelerate economic transformation in Rwanda. There is evidence of a significant increase in private sector investment following the introduction of a revised tax code and implementation of the doing business reforms since 2005 although there was a downturn due to the World economic crisis in 2009. Both foreign and domestic investments have increased with FDI exceeding local investment and new jobs have been created. Exports have increased and there is some evidence of a b...
