A new study has found that many creatives in Rwanda aspire to build sustainable businesses but face major barriers, including limited entrepreneurial skills, access to finance, equipment and market linkages. The assessment, conducted by Green Horizon Ventures and Creative Visions in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Arts, reviewed 245 applicants to the Arts Connekt Programme, a competition for creative entrepreneurs. Findings show that only 43 percent of respondents earn income solely from their art. Nearly half (47 percent) rely on additional income sources, while 10 percent reported earning nothing from their creative work. More than half (56 percent) have never received formal creative training. The gap is wider geographically: 60 percent of urban creatives have accessed training, compared to 38 percent in rural areas. Equipment and materials were cited as the top need, at 55 percent overall. Rural creatives were more affected, with 60 percent identifying it as a priority compared to 43 percent of urban respondents. @Entre_Adam @cvfoundation @ghvrwanda newtimes.co.rw/article/33610/…

@MugwizaO @Muzungu4 Eh Hatari 🤣🤣

Something is not right here. @Muzungu4 kindly advise.

SAD NEWS: American action star Chuck Norris has died at the age of 86, his family announced in a statement on Friday.

@RwandaLabour Can you extend it to Monday as well in the spirit of celebrating our Muslim brothers and sisters?

ITANGAZO.

@goodhe4rted PwC is Rwandan? 🤣🤣🤣 you’re such a dimwit that skipped a few processes of thinking. I can easily see how ignorance is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your head 🤣

PwC Rwanda just got kicked out by the World Bank and banned from all Bank-funded projects. Looks like Rwanda’s big players aren’t as untouchable as they thought.

@Edbiziman At least I know how to resist to pressure and fight back. I don't need, like others, to publicly whine about "media lynching" and surrender to the divine, only after few months in office, not to mention awkwardly antagonising my predecessor over gutters.

HAPPENING: @WfWRwanda is hosting its Impact Gala, the centerpiece of its women’s month campaign “Discover Her,” showcasing women who have regained confidence and taken charge of their futures through its programmes. The event at Mövenpick Hotel brings together staff, partners, and supporters to celebrate their achievements nationwide.

Can someone clarify whether the Asians have ever been taken to court? It often appears that such cases are avoided or difficult to pursue. Meanwhile, it is interesting to see the UK, often regarded as a strong champion of the rule of law, now facing legal action over an alleged breach of agreement. Times are changing!

WATCH: “What often happens is that international artists announce global tours but skip Africa,” says Global Citizen Founder and CEO Hugh Evans, stressing that the vision is to ensure major tours include stops across East, West, North, and other parts of the continent. He noted that expanding access to global shows can help grow the creative industry, create jobs, and support a future free of extreme poverty. 📹: @MugwizaO /TNT

Rwanda seeks @UNESCO recognition for Inyambo cattle newtimes.co.rw/article/34138/…

Money can buy a soul. The Bible tells us of a son of God who was traded for coins. Here is example of a total sellout. Man traded his entire clan for 💸💸 what will happen when money runs out and when there is no paycheck? What will he stand for because Tshisekedi Neva ain’t immortal? To be honest, the spirit he is fight against is mortal. Small brains in neckties!

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Look 🙈: No one wants to go to prison. But if I ever had to, I’d choose Rwanda 🇷🇼. From what I’ve seen in prisons around the world, Rwanda is among the places where prisoners are treated with dignity and human rights are respected.
