Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the image restoration strategies that have been utilized by the Government of the Republic of Rwanda post the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda to restore her corporate image. This was crucial as it was necessary given the absence of literature evaluating whether the corporate image restoration strategies employed by the government have been a significant contributing factor in restoring the country’s image. The study was guided by three objectives: To identify the strategies used by the Republic of Rwanda to restore her image as a corporate, post the 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda. To evaluate Rwanda’s corporate image, post the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. To analyze the use of corporate image restoration strategies in restoring Rwanda’s image, post the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. The target population for this study was the key government employees working in select government ministries in the government of Rwanda. The study used a descriptive research design and a stratified sampling technique. The analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and utilized descriptive statistics to present the findings.
