The Q1 2026 edition of the Intambwe newsletter documents a quarter of concrete firsts: Rwanda's first automated upper-air weather station, strengthening climate forecasting; the launch of the Innovate Rwanda platform, connecting entrepreneurs to global opportunities; and a national roadmap to protect the coffee sector's market access ahead of new EU trade requirements. With 128,000 jobs generated through AGUKA and growing momentum around digital justice and inclusive finance, the issue shows how Rwanda is moving from policy to practice across multiple fronts.
