The Ministry of Youth and Arts, in collaboration with UNDP Rwanda, the European Union in Rwanda, BPN Rwanda, and Norrsken East Africa, officially certified more than 90 young entrepreneurs from the second cohort of the Aguka Mentorship Program. Over the past year, these entrepreneurs have undergone a transformative journey that equipped them with practical business skills, personalized coaching, peer-to-peer mentorship, and valuable networking opportunities across diverse sectors. 

During the ceremony, Permanent Secretary Ngabo Brave urged the graduates to cultivate a growth mindset, reminding them that “in life and leadership, you don’t attract what you want but who you are.” He commended their creativity and determination in building solutions to real-world challenges, while also expressing gratitude to development partners for their continued trust and collaboration in advancing Rwanda’s National Strategy for Transformation (NST2) and Vision 2050.
