Attending #Kwibohora30 has really moved me. Learning about the sacrifices, as well as the resilience & unity has filled me with pride & optimism. This is significant not just for Rwanda but the entire continent. The journey continues & the next 30 years will be even more glorious

It was a pleasure to meet you, Minister @jnabdallah. Indeed, we're not doing the youth a favor by focusing on them—they are not just the future, but the NOW! I’m excited for the energy #YouthConnekt2024 is bringing to #Rwanda this year as we build pathways for Africa’s youth.

What an experience! Saw firsthand how one of our #YouthConnekt 2021 winners, @Ngabo_Karegeya, is using nature-based solutions to preserve the environment & thrive in his community. I also enjoyed a cool cultural tourism experience. Everyone should visit & see the incredible work!

Visiting the @Kigali_Memorial yesterday was a tough but necessary experience! What an unimaginably inhumane darkness that fell on #Rwanda during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi! My resolve to walk with #Rwanda on the resilience & recovery journey just got stronger. #Kwibuka30

At the UNDP Global Leadership Retreat, I emphasized how interconnected challenges like climate change, poverty, and conflict require a global approach. UNDP’s focus on partnerships and innovative financing is key for sustainable development. #UNDPDrivingTransformation
