On November 25, 2021, the Embassy of Israel in Rwanda gave a cow to at least 20 vulnerable families in the Rulindo District. The Ambassador of Israel to Rwanda, Ron Adam, said that a cow is the most sustainable support that can be given, since it can provide milk and fertilizer, as well as being a source of income. This is another sign of positive relations between Rwanda and Israel. According to the Girinka program, the family that receives and raises the cow then gives the first female calf to another vulnerable family to continue the cycle. So far, at least 10,264 residents of the Rulindo District have benefitted from the program. In 2020 and June 2021, Israel donated 40 cows to families in two other districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, this article demonstrates that Israel has been and still is fostering good relations with Rwanda. This is positive considering the socioeconomic status of Rwanda as a developing country that could use support from a more developed country such as Israel. The relationship that can be built between community members by gifting cows also seems like a beneficial thing in contrast to the 1994 genocide, along with the fact that economic stability eases tensions as well. The influx of livestock should allow the region to sufficiently support much of its population, which would allow people to pursue more education and help develop the country. Considering 72% of Rwanda\u2019s working population is engaged in agriculture, greater accessibility to agricultural goods could help shift a portion into a more developed or industrialized sector to bring more people out of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story falls into the category of international development since Israel\u2019s donation of cows allows Rwanda to bring people out of poverty to improve the country as a whole. This includes two states, Rwanda and Israel. This situation makes sense from a constructivist standpoint — Israel doesn\u2019t gain much at this point from providing for some Rwandan people. They could be looked upon favorably if Rwanda ever does become powerful but I doubt Israel would be concerned with that at the moment. They do, however, greatly improve the lives of thousands of Rwandans and allow the Rwandan government to focus its efforts on more pressing matters, which is a very constructivist-like behavior.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
