There are currently no cases in Rwanda and no active cases in areas bordering Rwanda. While the risk is low, Rwanda remains vigilant and continues to strengthen surveillance and preparedness. **** Nta murwayi wa Ebola uri mu Rwanda cyangwa mu duce bihana imbibi kugeza ubu.

Today, RDB Deputy CEO @JulianaMuganza participated in the 2nd Edition of the @RwandaGBSGrowth Sector Policy Roundtable, which brought together government, industry, and development partners to discuss the growth and competitiveness of Rwanda’s Global Business Services (GBS) sector. “GBS is not a niche opportunity – it sits at the heart of where Rwanda is heading. As we work to establish Rwanda as a regional hub for services, technology, finance, and innovation, knowledge-intensive industries represent one of our clearest pathways to quality jobs, export earnings, and the kind of economy our young people can genuinely thrive in.” The discussion focused on positioning Rwanda as a leading destination for high-value digital services, including AI, cybersecurity, data analytics, and advanced business operations.
