Today, we successfully kicked off the Regional Grant Writing Workshop themed “Mastering Grant Writing: A Practical Workshop for Securing Research Funding.” Running from June 23–27, 2025, it brings together research teams from Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania & Kenya..Cont'.. @Uni_Rwanda

Thousands of graduates enter the job market every year, yet employers across Africa still say they can't find the right skills. Something isn't adding up. Our Pioneer MPA students explored this challenge with Mr. @AmosMfitundinda, an expert in human capital development, through our Work Integrated Learning programme. The fix? Training aligned to industry gaps. Investment in TVET and digital literacy. Career guidance that starts early. And workplace learning that bridges theory and practice. As he put it, "policy analysis is only as good as its implementation." #PolicyToImpact #SkillsMismatch

#OCOTToTheWorld We are thrilled to celebrate #EMERGENCEONGDDRC bringing the One Child One Tree to schools in the DRC, Through tree planting, children are empowered to care for the environment while boosting their psychosocial wellbeing and connection with nature @Cambridge_Uni

When Daniel Naftal Lema left #Tanzania, he was driven by solving #Africa's challenges at the root. He shared that story today at the ASG Pioneer Diary Series, a first-of-its-kind, entirely student-led storytelling initiative. "Seize the opportunities given to you and use it to yours and others' advantage." What story would you tell if given the mic?🎤

Fridays at ASG mean one thing - our MPA students are in conversation with the people shaping #African governance. This past Friday, they visited @RwandaLabour as part of the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) programme. Our students are current and future leaders from across #Africa, showing up as the next generation who will shape this continent. "Africa doesn't lack ideas. It lacks the institutions to turn them into action. The future of African governance rests in your hands." - Min. Christine Nkulikiyinka, @RwandaLabour. The future of governance is being shaped right now. #AfricanGovernance #PublicService #FutureLeaders

#Africa doesn't lack talent. It needs leadership shaped by ethics, excellence, and service. "Being a good leader requires more than technical skills. It requires values and principles that shape character," ASG President @Francis_Gatare. Read more: shorturl.at/azOUg #AfricanGovernance

Moments from past OCOT tree-planting ceremonies remind us where our journey began. As we enter the new year, OCOT is growing beyond planting toward sustainability, school ownership, and evidence-informed environmental education. @UCmhs @Cambridge_Uni @MastercardFdn @CIFOR_ICRAF

As part of #WorldCancerDay commemorations, the National Cancer Symposium convened to discuss strategies and pathways to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer and address cervical and #breastcancer as leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Rwanda.
