What a spectacular evening celebrating journalism and the people whose work continues to inform, challenge and shape society!
A special moment as @GovernanceRw Secretary General, Edward Kalisa, announced @HAKUZWUMUREMYI of @Umuryangonews as the Journalist of the Year at the 2026 Development Journalism Awards.
The celebrations continue as more outstanding journalists and their work receive well-deserved recognition.

The moment we were all waiting for is on: the Development Journalism Awards (DJA) 2026! Follow live: youtube.com/watch?v=5ztfGPCG…
Now in its 13th edition, the awards were established in 2012 to recognise outstanding journalism and encourage professionalism across Rwanda’s media sector. They celebrate reporting that does more than tell stories: journalism that investigates important issues, informs public debate, strengthens accountability and makes a meaningful contribution to society.
Organised by the @ARJ_Rwanda, in partnership with @GovernanceRw, @RMC_Rwanda and @ArfemRwanda, the awards are also a reminder that quality journalism deserves recognition and support.
Celebrating the journalists whose work informs, challenges and contributes to development.

How can the media help African businesses understand and seize the opportunities created by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)?
That was the focus of the first panel discussion at #ADI2026, moderated by journalist @shallonmwiza, from @NewTimesRwanda, featuring @kayigloire, External Trade Policy Specialist @RwandaTrade, who shared the opportunities @AfCFTA offers, @MugishaEmma2, Executive Secretary @RMC_Rwanda, who tackled media coverage, capacity and the role of digital platforms, as well as Katsey Munezero Kajabo, a journalist with @EAMGtv and student @alueducation, who discussed youth awareness and expectations.
The discussion examined how journalism can make continental trade opportunities more accessible and relevant to African businesses and citizens.
#DJA2026 #RwandaMediaAwards
Panelists highlighted key challenges in coverage and awareness of AfCFTA: media capacity and proactive reporting must improve, while young entrepreneurs need clear guidance on how to practically participate and trade across African borders.

Speaking on AfCFTA progress, Gloire Kayitare noted that since initial shipments under the Guided Trade Initiative (GTI) in 2021 starting with tea and coffee to Ghana, Rwanda continues to strengthen its trade position across Africa, supported by national implementation strategies and institutional partnerships like RwandAir.

“We need to share information which will impact our people's lives.”
John Bosco Rushingabigwi, Head of the Media Sector Coordination Monitoring Department at the Rwanda Governance Board (RGB), opened the #ADI2026 celebrations by challenging the media to look beyond reporting news and focus on information that drives transformation and makes a meaningful difference in people's lives.
With Africa's population comprising more than 65% young people, he also highlighted the potential of both traditional and digital media platforms to advance transformative information.
