Western governments commit about 588 million dollars to Rwanda’s post conflict recovery, matching a three quarters share of Kigali’s 764 million dollar request. U N and aid workers say donors still monitor the new regime as hundreds of thousands remain in refugee camps, while the government struggles with civil service and equipment gaps despite UNICEF sending 40 vehicles.
