Happy Independence Day, Rwanda!
Today, we celebrate the power of unity, the strength of our people, and the limitless potential of our youth. Together, let's continue building a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
#DOTYouth#DSEProgram#YouthLeadership
Productive discussions with @RwandaICT Min. of State @yves_Iradukunda on strengthening collaboration between @DOTRwanda's #DSEProgram & #1MillionRwandanCoders. Together, we're advancing digital skills, innovation & jobs to help more youth thrive in Rwanda's digital economy.
Christalene: "I never imagined that, as a refugee, I would be selected as a Digital Champion. I am grateful for this opportunity & ready to use the skills I've gained to empower fellow refugee youth with digital & entrepreneurial skills, so we can create opportunities together."
Congratulations to our newly trained Young Leadership Program 2026–2027 Digital Champions & Business Coaches under the #DSEProgram! They are ready to equip fellow youth with digital, entrepreneurial & leadership skills, creating pathways to dignified & fullfiling work.#DOTYouth
"We must break silos & match training directly to market demand. Youth, be bilingual to unlock global markets, pack your portfolios with value & leverage opportunities to build cohesive, future-ready companies." @ClementKabiligi PS @RwandaLabour on Rwanda’s employment strategy.
For the #DSEProgram, 80% young women: "Your greatest asset is being trainable. Your skills are your currency; keep learning, adapting & applying. Distinguish between what you can't do & what you simply haven't done yet, & don't let perfectionism hold you back." @ritaclemence
Today, we celebrated the achievements of the youth empowered through the #DSProgram. At the #DSETalentConnect2026, industry-ready graduates, innovators, employers, and investors connected to turn skills into jobs, ideas into businesses, and potential into impact. #DOTYouth
"Winning Rwf7.5M for E-Mboni is huge for our team at Van Guard! As a founder with a physical impairment, I'm so grateful to #DSEProgram for accommodations to fully lead.
Next: Launch our website & bring this wearable smart device to market for safety & independence!" -Esther M.
@vuwamuta: "Inclusion is in the #DSEProgram DNA. With 80% young women, 74% rural youth, 9% refugees & 6% youth with disabilities, we're proving that when opportunities are intentional, young people don't just participate, they lead, innovate & create impact." #Inclusion#DOTYouth
Min. @jnabdallah: "I was inspired by the innovators, entrepreneurs & job creators recognized today at #DSETalentConnect2026. With over Rwf90M awarded to youth-led innovations, this is more than a celebration, it is an investment in Rwanda's future." #DOTYouth#DSEProgram
Min. @jnabdallah urged young people to continue collaborating, learning, and upgrading their education and skills. He also encouraged them to adopt AI technology, improve their communication skills, and learn new languages to penetrate other African markets.
