Besides, unprocessed goods are sold at a relatively low price (International trade centre 1). The government should be more involved in the trade to ensure value addition to its exports.

The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Rwanda is the leading country with women leaders who are elected to represent the people. According to Dudman, out of eighty parliamentarians in Rwanda, fifty-one are female. It follows that ...
