“Leaders often should not look at themselves alone. They are supposed to come last, not first, in sharing the benefits that come from doing things well.
Too often, however, it is evident that some people put their own interests first.
Many even add arrogance to it, forgetting that ours is a service to the nation, not a contest between one person and another. The interests of the country must always come first. And when you serve the country well, the truth is that you too are among those who benefit. What matters is for people to see their duty that way.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials
I love stories such as Bouba’s! A young Senegalese basketball fan, who came to Kigali for @theBAL games, fell in love with the country and decided to invest. He’s the proud owner of #Greenride, an e-transport company that is also the official transport partner of #BAL Season 6.
Today at Green Hills Academy, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame joined Grandparents Day, where they enjoyed traditional Rwandan performances by the school’s Nursery Three learners.
The day offered grandparents a memorable opportunity to celebrate Rwandan culture alongside their grandchildren.
CEO @JanetKaremera took the stage at IMEX Frankfurt’s Africa in Motion panel alongside Julia Kleber, Lee-Anne Singh, and Yoadan Tilahun to make the case for why Africa isn’t an emerging story. It’s already here, already delivering, and already reshaping global events.
The continent’s booming innovation hubs, demographic power, and world-class infrastructure tell a clear story. Africa is no longer waiting for a seat at the table. It’s building the table. 🌍
Rwanda’s MICE footprint is growing rapidly and the numbers speak for themselves. 165+ events. 61,000+ delegates. USD 93.7M in economic impact, in 2025 alone.
Your event belongs here🇷🇼

Africa needs reliable, large-scale energy and the conversation starts here. The Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit on Africa is live at the Kigali Convention Centre.
The second edition of @NEISAfrica convened governments, regulators, financiers, industry, and technology partners to discuss how to make nuclear energy a practical, scalable, and safer option for African contexts.
#NEISA2026 #MeetInRwanda
Kigali, Rwanda, 19 Mei, 2026.
Nimeungana na viongozi wenzangu, mashirika ya kimataifa, wawekezaji na wataalamu wa masuala ya nishati katika Mkutano wa Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali kuhusu Uvumbuzi wa Nishati ya Nyuklia barani Afrika (NEISA).
Tanzania tumepiga hatua kubwa katika uzalishaji na umeme, na sasa Dira ya Taifa inatuelekeza tufikie uzalishaji wa megawati 70,000 ifikapo mwaka 2050. Kwa muktadha huo, tunaunga mkono uendelezaji wa nishati ya nyuklia katika kuongeza kasi ya kufikia lengo hilo, ambayo pia inaendana na lengo letu la matumizi ya nishati safi na salama.
Ili kufikia malengo ya uendelezaji wa nishati ya nyuklia Afrika, nimesisitiza umuhimu wa kuimarishwa ushirikiano kati ya wadau wanaohusika ili kuwezesha upatikanaji wa fedha, rasilimali watu na teknolojia. Sambamba na hayo, ni muhimu wananchi wakapewa elimu kuhusu uendelezaji nishati ya nyuklia ili wawe sehemu ya mageuzi haya.
Delighted to gift my book Beyond the Ballot to President Kagame @PaulKagame Rwanda features as a case study on how leadership, strategic communication and national purpose can shape trust, reputation and a country’s global story. Important conversations for Africa’s future. @RDBrwanda@afrika_jean@XandrineUmutoni #beyondtheballot @bennetowuonda@AhmedAidarus_@UrugwiroVillage

WATCH | The first day of the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, saw a strong push for deeper regional integration, faster investment, and growth driven by the private sector.
Africa, our survival lies in unity, not division. If others have agendas, let us also have African agendas—grounded in solidarity, peace, development, and shared prosperity.
Congratulations to #Kenya for hosting a successful meeting. Congratulations to #Uganda for the inaugurations. Congratulations to #Rwanda for the CEO Forum. And congratulations to #Ethiopia for hosting the annual AU/UN meeting.
When Africa works together, Africa rises together.

🇰🇪 H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto arrives in Kigali with a message the continent has been waiting for.
🔙 Just days ago in Nairobi, co-hosting the Africa Forward Summit alongside President Emmanuel Macron, Kenya's Head of State drew a line under decades of donor logic and called for something far more ambitious: an Africa that finances Africa. He pointed to over 4 trillion dollars in long-term domestic savings already sitting on the continent, including more than 1 trillion in pension and insurance assets and over 500 billion dollars in central bank reserves, and asked the only question that matters. Why are these resources still waiting for someone else's permission to build the continent?
💡 His answer is structural. Through Kenya's National Infrastructure Fund, already capitalised at around 1 billion dollars, he is testing a model designed to crowd private capital into the corridors, ports, energy systems and digital backbones that will turn the AfCFTA from protocol into market. The thesis is unambiguous: "Africa cannot trade effectively with itself while its economies remain disconnected."
🌍 In Kigali, that same conviction lands at the heart of the Africa CEO Forum 2026 conversation, where pan-African ownership, green industrialisation and the mobilisation of domestic capital are no longer side debates but the main stage. From the Silicon Savannah he has helped engineer to the climate finance reform he has pushed through every multilateral forum that will listen, President Ruto embodies a generation of African leadership that has stopped asking and started building.
🎯 His presence on the presidential panel sets the tone for two days that will define how the continent moves from 4 trillion dollars in potential to 4 trillion dollars in motion.
📍 Kigali, 14-15 May 2026.
