We are excited to share the latest edition of our newsletter, #Intambwe, with you!

This edition carries stories of innovation, partnerships, and ideas turning Rwanda’s development priorities into action: from AI-powered climate forecasting to nature finance and opportunities for women and young people.

Since 2023, we have worked with @rrainfo under our #EQUANOMICS initiative to make public finance work for women.

This collaboration has made history with RRA becoming Africa’s first public institution to earn the @UNDP global Bronze Gender Equality Seal!

"Gender equality is not an add on, but a measure of institutional excellence." UNDP Administrator @alexanderdecroo ,

#InclusiveFinance #Rwanda

"Fiscal policies must serve everyone. By combining reliable gender disaggregated data with innovative tools like RWAMOD, we can make taxes and public budgets fairer, more inclusive, and targeted." ~ Clement Kirenga (National Coordinator for Inclusive Governance at UNDP Rwanda)

Today, UNDP partnered with @cladho_rw , Kvinna till Kvinna, and @unwomenrwanda to host the National CSO Dialogue on Gender-Responsive Planning and Budgeting.

Discussions are focusing on translating national Gender Budget Statements into local, traceable district targets. Together with 20+ districts, @RwandaFinance , @RwandaLocalGov , and @rrainfo , we are ensuring public resources respond to community needs.

Africa is building one market. For many young people, the hardest part is often not the trade rules alone. It is getting paid across a border, getting registered, and staying secure once the income comes in.

At @UNDP, we work with partners like the @AfCFTA so that Africa’s single market creates real livelihoods for young people, not just new trade rules.

Tomorrow, Dignity Across Borders, a @youthconnektaf Summit Space, brings together experts & young entrepreneurs to unpack what young Africans need to sell, work and earn across borders.

If you are a young trader, maker or digital worker thinking about your next market, this conversation is for you.

Come with your question.

Tag one young person who has ever tried to sell outside their country. They should be in this room.

Kigali is where, ten years ago, the world agreed to gradually cut the climate-warming gases used in fridges and air conditioners. This week, it is hosting the Montreal Protocol community again for #MOP38.

Xiaofang Zhou, @UNDP’s Head of Cooling, Circularity and Pollution Prevention, reflects on that milestone and on the work ahead: helping countries move to cleaner, more efficient cooling, and taking proven solutions from pilots to scale.
