“Why does a school like this matter? The answer is simple: Africa deserves focus and deep study, and that should be done by you, our youth and our future. Unlike anywhere else, your education here will challenge you to think critically and practically about how to move our continent forward.
Do not be a spectator. Be prepared to go out and lead, because you are exactly who Africa needs. Make the most of your time here. Our hope is that soon, when your countries look to you for answers, you will be ready.” President Kagame | ASG Matriculation Ceremony for Pioneer Cohort of MPA Program.
