    Good to see the launch of the World Bank's Business Ready (B-READY) tool. It will be valuable to reformers throughout the world as they work to improve the business environment. I was happy to hear insights from Francis Gatare, CEO of Rwanda Development Board (RDB) Board on their successful reforms and their challenges. We at J.E. Austin Associates are happy to be helping Rwanda develop a competitive business environment that is spurring private sector growth through the USAID Kungahara Wagura Amasoko project. https://lnkd.in/e3jWHnEk
