The ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front continued to dominate all levels of socio-political life. The regime, led by President Kagame, faced limited political opposition a year ahead of the 2017 presidential elections. Kagame reshuffled his cabinet for the first time in two years and made important staffing decisions in the security sector. Rwanda continued to outperform its eac neighbours in the fields of public service delivery, but a severe drought challenged the government’s response to a food security crisis in the eastern part of the country. Kagame’s decision to run for a third term did not result in loss of support or a drop in foreign disbursements from key donors. Bilateral relations with both Burundi and France were strained, while those with Tanzania and the drc improved. The economy remained resilient and economic growth declined slightly to 5.9% due to lower growth in agriculture, a contraction in manufacturing and construction, and a slowdown in public investment.
