HAPPENING NOW:
Our team of Operation and Management of Irrigation Schemes (OMIS) Project District Coordinators, Scheme Managers, Senior Agronomists, and Irrigation Engineers come together to reflect on the progress of Season B 2026 activities, review the progress of annual targets, share knowledge, prepare for upcoming intensive on field and in class farmer trainings, and discuss key challenges and solutions
The OMIS project is implemented in partnership with @RwandaAgri covering six districts in the @Rwandasouth and @RwandaWest, supporting 26,116 farmers (12,419 female and 13,697 male) across 3,441 hectares in irrigated marshlands .

๐A bullet must always be marked with the name
of the enemy it is intended for.
๐No bullet of #Rwanda ๐ท๐ผ should go to waste when you fire, you must hit thetarget.
๐If you fire and miss, the one you are fighting may hit you instead.
๐Bullets are expensive, so firing without hitting means wasting resources.

Agricultural extension is most effective when driven by passionate and innovative young people. At YEAN, the success of our extension work in Rwanda is powered by young agronomists who dedicate their time to working in the field, living alongside farmers, and supporting their growth.
Our extension and agribusiness coaching goes to young agripreneurs such as Gilbert Niyoyankunze from Kirehe District, owner of NKUNZE Company Ltd, which produces avocado seedlings of Hass, Fuerte, and Ettinger varieties.
Gilbert manages an avocado nursery on 0.5 hectares and cultivates avocados on an additional 2.5 hectares, and employs 3 permanent young men, contributing to both local agribusiness and Rwandaโs food security.

๐The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has ranked Kigali as the second most popular city for hosting international meetings and events and Rwanda as the third country in Africa. The Rwandan capital has retained the place for the fifth time in a row.
๐#Rwandaโs consistent presence among the top destinations for association meetings highlights its growing reputation as a reliable and preferred host for global events
๐The high rankings are a result of several factors, such as Rwandaโs visa-on-arrival policy for all nationalities and @FlyRwandAir's expanding network, Kigaliโs position as a home to some of Africaโs leading Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibition (MICE) venues.
๐These include the Kigali Convention Centre, BK Arena, Amahoro Stadium, and Intare Conference Arena, which offer spaces suited for large-scale conferences and events.
๐In 2024, #Rwanda๐ท๐ผ welcomed over 52,000 delegates attending conferences and events, which resulted in over $84.8 million earned in MICE revenues, the RCB said.
๐Among the delegates, some 17,000 attended international association meetings, including the FIA Annual General Assembly, ICANN 80 Policy Forum, the International Network for Government Science Advice Conference (INGSA), Africa Food Systems Forum.

๐#Rwanda๐ท๐ผ is exploring the potential to establish a solar power plant with a capacity of 30 megawatts (MW), according to @Dr_JimmyGasore , the Minister of Infrastructure.
๐Currently, the countryโs largest solar power plant located in @RwamaganaDistr , Eastern Province, produces 8.5 MW. Meanwhile, aย 5.1 MW solar plantย is under development to supply power to BioNTechโs mRNA vaccine facility in Kigali.
๐Rwandaโs overall electricity generation capacity currently stands at 406.4 MW. This needs to increase to 556 MW within the next five years.
๐While the total potential capacity of the countryโs energy sources is estimated at 650โ700 MW, the objectives outlined in Vision 2050 can only be achieved if the growth in installed capacity reaches between 2.5 and 4.5 GW, depending on future projections.

President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame join Rwandans at the Kigali Genocide Memorial and across the world as they mark the start of the 31st commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi. They honored the over million innocent lives lost by laying a wreath and lighting the Flame of Remembrance, which will burn for the next 100 days. President Kagame is now delivering remarks during the National Remembrance Ceremony.
