Once a peace club member, always a peace club member! Great to see alumni members continuing to support their fellows and solidifying the bond between them. Connections like this help every generation of peace club members learn from the one before.
Keep it up, Urumuri! 👏🏾

Volunteering as young people is patriotism in action👌🏾. Young people believe that they can take part in decision-making, work closely with leaders, and volunteer to build unity and accountable leadership.

Today, with our CSO partners @crd_rw & @AJijukirwa, and the @SwissDevCoop, we joined citizens in their assembly in Mbogo cell, Kiziguro sector, @GatsiboDistrict.
Citizens raised their priorities and concerns to sector leaders to inform planning and budgeting and demanded accountability on previous priorities that still pend action. Sector leaders reassured citizens about ongoing programs to expand access to water points, electricity, construction of more schools and equipping health posts. They also promised to advocate for the resolution of other issues at the district and central government levels.
The visit was an insightful experience for partners to observe progress in citizen-centered governance and improved accountability at the local level.

Health care, education, and social protection are basic human rights.
At our @NARwanda Musanze youth roundtable, young people made it clear that these rights must reach everyone, including young PWDs who need health centers and support systems built for them.

Now i understand the intergenerational divide better. You write to a government institution and receive no response. Your Gen Z colleagues keep checking, wondering why a simple acknowledgement or update should take so long. Meanwhile, those of us who have grown accustomed to these delays keep reassuring them: “I am following up.” To them, this makes little sense. Their questions remind us how easily we normalise practices that deserve to change.
Perhaps what we sometimes call impatience is a reasonable expectation of timely, respectful service. We should listen to their frustration and ask why silence has become acceptable to us. @batamurizagrac5 @umutonirebecca5 @RebeccaAkankun1 @Eppieeeeeeeeee @cyuzuzo_paola @FelixUriho

Today, at our HQ, we received our civil society partners to reflect on the coalition’s progress in policy advocacy in different areas such as Post-harvest Management, Land governance, Gender Based Violence, & Workplace Learning.
We have appreciated the progress in collaborating with government and other stakeholders to advance policy actions, and harmonise our efforts for the desired socio-economic and governance transformation outlined in NST2.
Additionally, we exchanged lessons, challenges, and mitigation measures.
As a coalition, we remain committed to working together with other stakeholders to ensure policies reflect the realities on ground.

When young people are given the opportunity to lead, they don’t just transform their own lives, but also those of their communities.
Through our EYE Initiative (Empowering Young Entrepreneurs), young grantees who received support last year are turning their ideas into thriving agribusinesses.
From creating livelihoods to improving access to food and opportunities in their communities, these young entrepreneurs are proving that investing in youth is investing in the future.
We’re proud to witness their journey, and even prouder of the impact they are creating.👏🏾

What can young people learn from older generations, and what can older generations learn from young people?
A @NARwanda initiated intergenerational dialogue held in Burera brought this question into focus. Participants reflected on Rwanda’s history, Genocide prevention, discrimination, hate speech and the role of different generations in building peace. Young people can question distortion, reject division, and speak against discrimination. Older generations can share lived experiences and help keep historical knowledge alive.
One youth participant shared their takeaway: “Understanding our history is a shared responsibility.”

What do young learners want to achieve this school year, and what will it take to get there?
@fmiubumuntu continues to work towards part of the solution. Through its holiday coaching program, they are helping learners set goals for the new school year and identify the support they need from their parents, teachers, and others around them.

Civic participation, for young people, can also happen through the spaces already available within their communities.
The monthly community service (Umuganda) is one of those spaces. Alongside community service, young people are using these spaces to engage citizens through discussions and creative approaches such as theatre, contributing to conversations on issues affecting their communities.

Strong partnerships between TVET and industry are essential to ensuring that skills development translates into real opportunities and responds to the evolving needs of the labour market.
These MoUs mark an important step toward strengthening workplace learning, industry-led training, and practical skills development. It will ultimately contribute to better service delivery, increased employability, and the future development of Rwanda’s skilled workforce.
#NeverAgainRwanda is proud to partner with @RTB_Rwanda & @SwissDevCoop in advancing inclusive skills development and creating opportunities for young people to thrive.

Today, the Rwanda TVET Board signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with four industry associations: the Rwanda Garage Association, Rwanda Wood Value Chain Association, Rwanda Tailors Association, and Rwanda Hospitality Association.
The collaboration will facilitate Dual TVET, workplace placements, internships, apprenticeships, industrial attachments, and other structured workplace learning opportunities, while strengthening the capacity of workplace mentors and in-company instructors.
The agreements will also deepen industry participation in occupational standards, curriculum development and review, training delivery, assessment, and quality assurance, helping ensure that TVET programmes remain responsive to current and emerging industry needs.

Many challenges can affect children’s educational journey. Helping them early and continuing to follow up with them can help them stay in school and succeed, not only academically but also beyond the classroom. These efforts also provide parents with much-needed support, particularly financially.
Through their newly launched initiative, Inzozi Ze Initiative, @UmurungaFamily is working with children and their parents in Kayonza, with the longer-term goal of helping them grow into young people who can create opportunities for themselves.
