“We have to focus on young people who constitute the largest portion of our population, through education, through financing, through different partnerships so that all these young minds with their innovation and ideas in term of entrepreneurship can thrive.
But there must be an obligation they feel also as young people. There is no sitting back and waiting until there is a problem and you expect that somebody is going to come and help.
Young people, my simple message to you is: let’s not run away from problems. Because even where you run to, you will find problems, may be even more problems. Especially when they will send you back where you came from. But alongside that, find a purpose, know there are going to be problems, try and fail but don’t fail to try.” President Kagame | Africa Food Systems Forum 2025 Youth Town Hall.
