RWANDA:Govt Battling Unemployment.Kagame country and Youth Unemployment

From ALLAFRICA.COM
On the morning of Jan. 4 in Kigali, the compound of the newly opened national library of Rwanda was unusually crowded.
Along queue of smartly dressed youth clutching brown envelopes was quite a vista to passersby and many wondered what kind of books the library could have to attract such a morning rush.
But these young people were not at the library to read. They were graduates who had turned up to find jobs.
It was the "Rwanda Job Day" and these youths had travelled from all over Rwanda's 30 districts to be here and they all had hope of at least finding any job that would keep them busy, according to Sonia Giramata, an accounting graduate, who had travelled from Gisenyi town in western Rwanda.
The Rwanda Job day, organised by 'Jobs in Rwanda', a website that recruits online was meant to bring employers face to face with job seekers and those with the right competences or proper luck, would find their dream job, and 'meet their future' as the day's theme stated.
It's now a standard that if someone is actively looking for work but is unable to find any, then they are unemployed.
That's the definition upon which authorities in Rwanda base on to say the country's unemployment rate is at 1%, a dream statistic for most economies.
Unfortunately, in Africa where data collection let alone management is still wanting, it's difficult to determine for sure how many Rwandans are 'actively' job hunting to compile an accurate figure of those unemployed. Before the event, job seekers had registered before coming and the organisers had to stop registering when the number became overwhelming at around 1200. These ranged from young graduates who had graduated a year ago to those who have been on the streets for more than two years or even those who were not satisfied with their current jobs and wanted better.
Looking at the crowd that day, it was clear; the country's unemployment rate could more than the 1% quoted.
Jean Philbert Nsengimana, Rwanda's Minister of Youth and ICT is an honest man, a rare trait among politicians.
