Indashyikirwa “Business Champions At District Level” Following a successful formulation and operationalization of Golden Circle, the same idea was replicated across the country at the district level to ensure an evenly distributed private sector participation in Rwanda’s economic development. The brand name for the districts outreach of this program is “Indashyikirwa” a connotation in Kinyarwanda for “Champions”. Districts have developed ambitious development master plans that are aligned with Economic Development Programs. They, too look up to private sector in their respective localities to elaborate those (ambitious) master plans. In such a case, they need a favorable private public partnership (PPP) platform through which they can elaborate their respective investment agendas. Any developmental plan at district level, they become the number one target group.
