The call was made at the end of a three-day workshop held in Kigali at the Training Center for Rwanda Institute for Cooperatives, Entrepreneurship and Microfinance (RICEM).
Throughout the training, participants were reminded on qualities of a leader where he/she must oversee interests of people under his/her responsibility and work hard to usher them into development, create innovations, encourage women and the youth to join cooperatives among others.
The Director General of RICEM, Dr. Mukulira Olivier, said that the main reason this training was organized was to teach the cooperatives’ managers on promoting the culture of cooperation.
As he concluded the training on October 7, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Richard Niwenshuti requested the participants to improve their performance and interaction and to make the most of the lessons learnt from the training.
“The message we want to convey to participants of this training is to improve performance and collaboration between cooperatives’ members because it has become observed that some of them are mired by misunderstandings. So, want them to go and solve these problems and put into practice the lessons they learnt,” he said.
The participants of the training thanked the Rwanda Cooperative Agency and RICEM which organized the training and pledged to take advantage of it to enhance professionalism.
The three-day workshop had been opened on September 4, 2022, by the Director General of the Rwanda Cooperative Agency, Prof. Harelimana Jean Bosco.
It was held under the theme “Promoting Rwandan cooperatives through cooperation and entrepreneurship.”
