Notes

"Much of the credit for spreading the idea that Rwanda is a good place to do business, and not just a place for do-gooders to come help, goes to Joe Ritchie and Dan Cooper of Chicago-based Fox River Investments. They have no financial interests in Rwanda, but have done more than any aid agency to introduce Rwanda to movers and shakers in American business, setting up the first meetings between Kagame and U.S. CEOs. Joe Ritchie became familiar with Rwanda when his daughter volunteered there. As Ritchie and Cooper got to know the country and its leaders for themselves, they became convinced that Rwanda is a “misvalued stock,” and set out to change perceptions of the nation among their colleagues."
