5.2. Recommendations
Rwanda National Accountants have to make an effort and
introduce the income approach to compile Supply and Use Tables and Input-Output
Table and to compute GDP, because this approach could help in Social
Accounting Matrix designing.
The use of SUT and SAM should allow the evaluation of relative
burden of taxation across households types and should also allow to consider
how best to use taxation and transfers system to alleviate poverty. Through
this, the government should collect taxes and spends the funds on public
projects and on transfers to poor segments of the population.
In Rwanda the youth occupies an important portion of the total
population. Even though, policy should focus not only on youth's opportunities
but also on their capabilities and second chances. This will increase the
productivity capacity of Rwanda, and transformation initiative which also will
increase value added on goods and services which are domestically produced for
final consumption or for export.
The government of Rwanda should make the services work. Making
services work requires changing the institutions relationship among key
sectors.
Rwanda's economic growth «a major determinant of human
development outcomes» would need to be substantially faster than it has
been in last 10 years to make dramatic improvements of economic development of
Rwanda.
The government of Rwanda should build blocks of economic
growth, human capital, empowerment, and social protection. The blocks are
mutually dependent. And these blocks are all captured in SUT/I-O tables through
salaries as remittances of human capital, empowerment and social protection
through investment and economic growth through GDP.
SUT/I-O Tables should be used to forecast and predict the
development of Rwanda. Basing on data in SUT/I-O tables it is possible to
visualize the behaviour of SUT/I-O Tables in previous years. SUT/I-O Tables
Should also be used to foster balance of payment by improving investment for
promoting export.
In Rwanda environmental protection activities should be
carried out by all sectors. They should be concentrated, however in three
sectors which sell protection services: a) Government, b) Trade and transport
and c) other services which provide private waste disposal services,
environmental consulting and recycling.
However, to maintain the progress towards economic
development, the researcher proposed to promote skilled personnel including
accountants and other economic planners able to compile and consolidate SUT and
IO-T, in order to design plans and programs that aim at enhancing the economy.
In addition to this; social, commercial and credit conditions should be
accessible for farmers. And again, Supply and use identity should serve as a
basis for various interconnection with satellite accounts such as labour
statistics, linkage with physical flows (land use, energy), linkage with other
physical flows related to environmental issues (emission of CO2, waste, sewage)
and other form of satellite accounts system for tourism, transport, health, and
education.
