Rwanda has a population of approximately 9 million people and is the most densely populated country in Africa. It has experienced very rapid population growth of 3.6% annually, which will cause the population to double in size within 20 years. While goals for eradicating extreme hunger will likely be met, eradicating extreme poverty will not. The 1994 Rwandan genocide dramatically increased poverty rates. Rwanda has made progress in education goals, with primary education enrollment rates rising from 67% in 1990 to 92% in 2005. It was also the first country where women outnumbered men in democratic government. Child mortality has declined significantly despite challenges from the genocide.
