FIRST LOOK! The plans for the purpose-built circuit in Bugesera, Rwanda 🇷🇼

Today, MoYA, with @RwandaICT and @RDBrwanda, brought together creative-tech and monetization platforms, as well as creative entrepreneurs.
The session is part of a broader effort to raise awareness on how creative works generate revenue, and how creators can better protect, track and monetize their work.

“The world will not change until we change it.” — Late Dr. Paul Farmer
Earlier today, First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame, together with Mr Bill Gates, Founder and Chair of the Gates Foundation, joined Paul E. Farmer #ButaroDialogues on Health Equity and Innovation, hosted by @ughe_org and the @coms_africa, in partnership with the Gates Foundation.
The Butaro Dialogues is a biennial platform that brings together global health leaders, innovators, investors, policymakers, African academic institutions, and the next generation of health professionals in Rwanda to turn research and new ideas into better, more equitable healthcare.
This inaugural edition focused on one of today’s most urgent priorities: closing the gap between proven innovations and their implementation in maternal and newborn health.
