Why Impact Hub Kigali ?

Impact Hub Kigali, in partnership with Resonance, leads the event pipeline for the Circular Food Systems for Rwanda initiative. This collaboration allows Impact Hub Kigali to carefully plan, design, and execute strategic events that engage a diverse range of stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and community members.

These events aim to spark meaningful discussions and collaborations around sustainable food practices and circular economy principles, driving the movement toward a resilient and circular food system in Rwanda.

What type of events ?

These events include hands-on workshops, insightful roundtable discussions, and community-driven public forums. Each event is designed to foster dialogue and understanding around circular food systems, bringing together diverse voices to explore the benefits and potential of regenerative practices in agriculture.

By connecting policymakers, industry experts, academics, and local communities, Impact Hub Kigali provides a platform for collaborative problem-solving, creating a ripple effect that inspires innovative solutions and actionable steps toward a sustainable, resilient food system in Rwanda.
