    NAIROBI

    The Federation of the Rwandan Private Sector (FRPS) is planning a consultation workshop with the Rwandan government, development agencies and foreign donors for March in an effort to get the private sector on its feet. Robert Bayigamba, vice-president of the FRPS said it was hoped to attract the World Bank, UNIDO, the ILO, UNDP, the EU, USAID and the governments of the US and the Netherlands to help the private sector through the promotion of micro, small, and medium enterprises; rehabilitation and restructuring of industries in the country; and establishing a framework of industrial policies, Rwanda News Agency (RNA) reported on Thursday. A draft act to dissolve the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and to legally recognise the RFPS was to be presented to cabinet on Friday, a separate report stated.
