@africatodayMG The issue is that the two least effective presidents do not want to learn from their neighbour who is the most effective president on the continent. Viva President HE. Paul kagame.
We surveyed 150 Africans from 38 different nationalities to identify the top three most effective African Presidents and the three least effective or worst Presidents. Here is the score.

1. Paul Kagame, Rwanda 🐦🔥92%
2. Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso 🐦🔥89%
3. Dharam Gokhool, Mauritius 🐦🔥87%
Least Effective Presidents:
1. Paul Biya, Cameroon 🐦🔥8%
2. Félix Tshisekedi, Democratic Republic of Congo 🐦🔥4%
3. Évariste Ndayishimiye, Burundi 🐦🔥2%
📍Rwanda
Under President Paul Kagame’s leadership since 2000, Rwanda has experienced significant development across multiple sectors, driven by strategic policies, reforms, and investments.
This is how ;
1. Economic Growth and Business Environment
Rwanda has achieved consistent GDP growth, averaging around 8% annually since 2000, with peaks of 12% and 11.9% in Q2 and Q3 of 2019, respectively. The country’s Gross Domestic Product rose from $752 million in 1994 to $9.5 billion in 2018, with GDP per capita increasing from $125.5 to $787 over the same period.
Rwanda ranks 38th globally and 2nd in Africa in the 2020 World Bank Doing Business Index, reflecting reforms that reduced business registration time to hours and tripled registered investments from $400 million in 2010 to $2.46 billion in 2019, with energy (45%) and manufacturing (30%) leading. These reforms, including tax incentives and a one-stop investment center, have attracted foreign direct investment and fostered a business-friendly environment.
2. Tourism and Hospitality
Tourism has become a cornerstone of Rwanda’s economy, contributing 11% to GDP and generating close to $500 million in revenue in 2019, up from $131 million in 2006. The “Visit Rwanda” campaign, notably featured on European soccer jerseys like Arsenal’s, has boosted luxury eco-tourism and the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) sector, with MICE revenue reaching $66 million in 2019. Hotel rooms increased from 623 in 2003 to 14,866 in 2018, reflecting infrastructure growth. High-end gorilla trekking packages and investments totaling $1.5 billion since 2000 have positioned Rwanda as a premier tourism destination.
3. Agriculture and Food Security
Agriculture, employing about 70% of Rwanda’s population and contributing 35% to GDP, has driven poverty reduction, lifting 1.7 million people above the poverty line in five years. Agricultural exports doubled from $225 million in 2013–2014 to $516 million in 2017–2018, with a 22% compounded annual growth rate, and are projected to reach $1 billion by 2024. Reforms, including crop intensification programs and partnerships with agronomists, have revitalized coffee and tea production, with tea exports reaching 15,000 tonnes ($18 million) by 2002.
4. Technology and Innovation
Rwanda aims to become an African tech hub, with initiatives like drone-based medical deliveries by Zipline, which reduced in-hospital maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage by over 50%. The service sector, including ICT, accounts for nearly half of GDP, driven by innovations like smart solar kiosks by companies such as ARED. Investments in science and technology (5% of GDP by 2012) and the establishment of 29 universities by 2010 have supported a knowledge-based economy. Rwanda’s ranking as the 29th easiest place to do business globally in 2019 reflects its appeal to tech startups.
5. Health and Education
Health and education have seen significant improvements, with maternal mortality dropping 55% from 2000 to 2010 and secondary school enrollment more than doubling from 2006 to 2012. The government allocates 17% of its budget to education, providing 12 years of free schooling since 2012, and increased university enrollment from 4% in 2008 to 7% in 2011. Life expectancy has risen, and universal healthcare has been implemented, earning international praise.
Rwandese people say “this is just the beginning”
The “Awesome & Amazing” Panel of the Day at #IHCC2025!
With the brilliant Grace Kwizera moderating, our speakers took us on a candid journey to what it really takes to become a General Counsel — beyond titles, strategy, and boardrooms.
They reminded us that leadership is human:
✅“Know your value system. Connect before you correct. Collaboration matters more than quick opinions.” – Matsiko Godwin
✅ “Work is only No. 3 on my list — after family, faith, and mental health. How about you?” – Maggie Baigana
✅ “Find mentors in every sphere — spiritual, physical, professional. Don’t be shy to ask and learn.” – Eric Cyiza Mugisha
✅ “Feedback is gold. Collaborate, ask for reviews, and connect with stakeholders.” – Loyce K. Bamwine
✅ “Every opinion counts. You can always learn something new from others.” – Gigi Maajar
✅ Their collective message? Becoming a successful General Counsel isn’t just about legal expertise — it’s about values, resilience, mentorship, collaboration, and self-care.
Now we ask you: What’s YOUR No. 1 priority outside of work that keeps you grounded? Share with us in the comments!
We have welcomed two Boeing 737-800s into our fleet. The first arrived earlier this month and has already taken to the skies, while the second arrived last night.
With a passenger capacity of 174, these aircraft will primarily operate on short and medium haul routes.

Le document récemment publié par Human Rights Watch et son compère Amnesty International sur l’AFC/M23 n’a rien d’un rapport d’enquête : il s’agit d’un texte indigne, abject, qui insulte l’intelligence humaine et trahit la mission qu’il prétend incarner.

Due to adverse weather conditions at Kigali International Airport, causing low visibility, flights to and from Kigali are currently delayed. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
