The International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC) is a system used to classify and categorize economic activities worldwide. It provides a standard framework for organizing and analyzing economic data across countries and sectors. In Rwanda, the ISIC is used to classify industries and activities for the purpose of collecting and reporting statistical data.
The most recent version of the ISIC used in Rwanda is the ISIC Rev. 4, which was adopted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) in 2011. This classification system organizes economic activities into different sectors, sub-sectors, and categories based on their primary function or nature.
The main sectors covered by the ISIC in Rwanda include:
1. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing
2. Mining and quarrying
3. Manufacturing
4. Electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply
5. Water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation activities
6. Construction
7. Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles
8. Transportation and storage
9. Accommodation and food service activities
10. Information and communication
11. Financial and insurance activities
12. Real estate activities
13. Professional, scientific, and technical activities
14. Administrative and support service activities
15. Public administration and defense; compulsory social security
16. Education
17. Human health and social work activities
18. Arts, entertainment, and recreation
19. Other service activities
20. Activities of households as employers; undifferentiated goods- and services-producing activities of households for own use
21. Activities of extraterritorial organizations and bodies
Each sector is further divided into sub-sectors and categories to provide more detailed classification. The ISIC is regularly updated to reflect changes and developments in the global economy.
