Yesterday, we joined the celebration of #WorldEnvironmentDay2026 and the 20th Anniversary of @REMA_Rwanda .
The celebration reaffirmed that environmental protection and sustainable development must go hand in hand. Inspired by nature, committed to #ClimateAction.

While officiating #WorldEnvironmentDay, Min. @Dr_Arakwiye said that 🇷🇼’s growth doesn’t require choosing between development and environment. We must advance both.
A Global Call for Climate Action urges climate finance and collective efforts for a sustainable future.

As part of our 17 Weeks, 17 Goals Campaign, this week we are promoting SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
“Promoting decent work creates opportunities, upholds dignity, advances equality, and drives sustainable economic growth for all.”
#17Weeks17GoalsCampaign
In Collaboration with @NiCEClubRwanda we delivered another impactful session
From cutting edge research and energy innovation to #NuclearPower and policy reform, one thing was clear: Rwanda is actively shaping a resilient and inclusive energy future in line with #SDG7.
Mr. Yves made the case for nuclear energy clear.
Rwanda's 2050 energy gap = 5GW needed vs ~464 MW today.
SMRs offer:
1)90%+ capacity factor
2)~18% tariff reduction
3)45M tonnes of CO₂ avoided by 2050
"Nuclear is not just about electrons it's about opportunities for people."
Mr. Mayani provided insights:
Only ~10% of Rwandan households have clean cooking access. In rural areas? Less than 1%.
Clean cooking is part of #SDG7 and we can't ignore it.
The fix: subsidies + local innovation + quality standards. #CleanCooking #Rwanda
In collaboration with @NiCEClubRwanda , we are pleased to invite you to #60MinutesOfSustainability webinar under the theme: Beyond the Grid: Powering Rwanda’s Future Through Innovation, Inclusion, and Policy

This week we are promoting SDG 7: Affordable and Clean energy.
"Sustainable energy is key to combating climate change and achieving inclusive development." #17weeks17goalscampaign
From resilient Source-to-Tap systems and smart tech to behavior-driven sanitation and strong regulation, Rwanda is steadily advancing #SDG6.
Clean water & sanitation for all is possible when policy, innovation, and people work together.
We’re motivated to be part of this journey
“We don’t have a sanitation problem because we lack solutions. We have it because solutions don’t always fit people’s realities.”
@RitaNishimwe showed us that sanitation succeeds only when we prioritize behaviour change, community ownership.
#WASH #CleanHandsHealthyCommunities
“The cheapest water is the water we don’t waste.”
@ugwali reminded us that demand management & leak reduction can cut water demand by 15–25% in African cities.
NRW reduction is the highest-return investment for utilities!
#WaterForLife #SDG6 #SourceToTap"
"Strong regulation, fair tariffs, and genuine stakeholder engagement are the backbone of sustainable water services.
@BizimanaHussein showed how licensing, cost recovery, and inclusive dialogue drive real progress toward water security in Rwanda.
