Kigali International Finance Centre, the Chandler Institute of Justice, and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators have entered a partnership to advance legal and financial sector capacity building initiatives, including training programmes for legal practitioners, financial sector professionals, and regulatory bodies.

The partnership encompasses programmes in alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, and mediation, with a focus on commercial and financial disputes.

The MoU was signed on 22 June during the launch of a four-day training programme focused on strengthening Rwanda’s legal expertise to support financial services, investment, and dispute resolution.

🚀 Happy Labour Day to all!

Cyrille Nkontchou, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Enko Capital, said:

“The Rwanda SME Growth Fund represents a shift toward African capital driving African growth, positioning SMEs at the center of economic transformation. By providing patient, local-currency capital, the Fund addresses the critical financing gap between microfinance and traditional banking—unlocking growth for ambitious businesses that lack access to the right kind of funding.

Beyond capital, the Fund combines investment with technical support, ensuring that SMEs can scale sustainably, create jobs, and expand into new markets. In partnership with the Rwanda Social Security Board, this initiative demonstrates how domestic institutional capital can directly power the real economy, setting a new benchmark for pension fund-led investment in Africa.

Ultimately, the Fund is a blueprint for inclusive growth, supporting job creation, innovation, and long-term economic resilience, while showcasing how Rwanda is aligning capital, policy, and execution to lead the future of African private equity.”

[Rwanda Social Security Board @RSSB_Rwanda]

Today, the Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB), alongside Enko Capital, announces the initial close of a Rwanda-focused SME Growth Fund with US$30M committed.

The Fund will provide long-term, flexible growth capital in local currency to SMEs.
