This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame chaired a Cabinet meeting that reviewed key policy measures to accelerate Rwanda's transformation.
À Genève, Amb. @urujeniB a pris part à une table ronde du Groupe des Ambassadeurs francophones (GAF), tenue au siège de l’@ilo sur l’autonomisation économique des femmes francophones dans le monde du travail.
Dans l’esprit de l’#AppelDeKigali, elle a présenté quatre priorités qui s’inscrivent dans l’expérience du Rwanda et ses efforts continus : faciliter la transition vers l’économie formelle grâce au numérique, améliorer l’accès des femmes entrepreneures à des financements adaptés, reconnaître et mieux répartir le travail de soin, et renforcer l’accès des femmes aux compétences et aux secteurs à forte valeur ajoutée.
A milestone for Rwandan coffee! 🇷🇼☕
Just weeks after Rwanda joined Indonesia, Türkiye and the @FAO in hosting the inaugural International Coffee Day celebration at @UNGeneva, showcasing our respective coffee traditions, Rwandan specialty coffee has achieved a record price of US$452 per kilogram at the Best of Rwanda 2026 auction.
This achievement reinforces the importance of continued international dialogue and cooperation on fair trade, market access and greater value for farmers across the coffee supply chain.
Rwanda is engaging with the UN Human Rights Committee at @UNGeneva as the review of its 5th Periodic Report under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (#ICCPR) gets underway.
Led by Min. @eugirashebuja1 of @Rwanda_Justice, with the participation of @DodoPicard of @GovernanceRw, Rwanda’s delegation will share the country’s progress, address challenges and exchange views with the Committee on efforts to further strengthen the promotion, protection and enjoyment of civil and political rights.

"More than 100 million Africans watch @F1, and 60% of them are below the age of 35, so it's a natural continuation of our strategy of using @visitrwanda_now to drive inbound tourism."

“It is an honour and privilege for Rwanda to be chosen as a destination in the Formula One calendar. What brought us together is a shared conviction that Africa has the potential to elevate the quality of motorsports as a global and elite discipline.
Integrating African markets with global sports franchises and competitions offers transformative opportunities. Yet, if we have to be honest with ourselves, this cross-border connection has existed for a long time, just not in Africa’s favour.
The message for all of us is simple: sports is a great equalizer, but we have to be intentional about delivering this promise. Rwanda is happy and excited to be part of a journey that will change how Africa is perceived in the world of sports. We want to contribute, not just participate, and this new chapter in motorsports starts today" President Kagame | Formula 1 African Grand Prix Announcement
