District policy dialogues under the #SERVEProject have continued today in @KayonzaDistrict and @rulindodistrict, bringing together district authorities, project partners and young people engaged in agriculture and poultry farming.
The discussions focused on challenges limiting predominantly female youth from fully participating in agribusiness, with a focus on identifying practical actions and solutions to address these barriers.

"We always ask ourselves: where are we leaving our children? What kind of people are we leaving behind? Are they continuing on the right path they were born into, the one their parents built and entrusted to them? Or will everything that has been achieved have been in vain? All of it can go to waste.
People liberated this country. They put in place policies to bring Rwandans back together, policies that would drive development, so that Rwanda could move forward instead of remaining a poor country dependent on others. Are you going to let all of that be undone? Please, don't. I ask you not to. Do not be the ones who bring about such a tragedy." President Kagame | Indangamirwa Cohort 16 #MeetThePresident
In Addis Ababa, Minister @onduhungirehe signed the AU convention on ending violence against women and girls (AU-CEVAWG) making Rwanda the 9th signatory country.
The convention provides a comprehensive continental legal framework to prevent and respond to all forms of violence against women and girls.
Rwanda supports the convention as it aligns with Rwanda’s vision and National gender policy.

This evening, Minister @onduhungirehe joined the @USAmbRwanda to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America (USA).
In his remarks, he commended the longstanding cooperation between Rwanda and the USA.
“Confronting historical responsibilities requires real courage, because it generates fierce opposition by those with a case to answer. You need a strong sense of humanity to see it through. President Macron, I want to commend you on both counts: courage and humanity.
You acknowledged that France could have stopped the genocide, but did not. In response, I described your words as something more valuable than an apology: namely, the truth. This door was first opened by President Nicolas Sarkozy, and I wish to commend him today.
The Genocide against the Tutsi was foreseeable, and in fact foreseen, and France was in a unique position to observe and to act. It took too long for France to come to terms with its role, causing additional pain. And on some points, we still have not found consensus. I fully understand the feelings of those survivors and advocates, who remain dissatisfied with the official record. But I believe that our common work has initiated a journey towards truth, which is irreversible.
And France was not alone in falling short, far from it. Many other countries did so as well, but none has gone as far as France in setting the record straight and accepting its part in the tragedy.” President Kagame | Inauguration of Monument in Paris honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.
Congratulations to our #VisitRwanda partner Paris Saint-Germain @PSG_inside on their well-deserved UEFA @ChampionsLeague title and on being crowned champions for the second consecutive year.
Congratulations as well to @Arsenal on reaching the final and fighting with determination until the very end.
Both clubs have made their supporters proud, but tonight, PSG proved to be the better team!
