Rwanda's government plans to make the nation an upper-middle-income country by 2035. They state that removing cheap used clothing from the domestic market, which the country imports in large quantities from Western economies, especially the United States, is the only way to protect local textile and garments manufacturers from unfair competition and strengthen the country's economy. Therefore, the state has initiated a Made in Rwanda campaign, along with setting high tariffs on imported used clothing, to coordinate support for local entrepreneurs and craftsmen, as well as to enable businesses to improve the quality of their garment production. The policy has already reduced the country's trade deficit and contributed largely to shortening global supply chains.
