The Trainees were happy to get this kind of training because they said that the skills and knowledge they got are very important and will guide them in their daily work.
Christophe Ishimwe, one of participants from Rwanda Forestry Nature Conservation student’s Association (RFNCSA) said: ‘’I highly appreciated to be invited in this program. I thank you for thinking on my University (University of Rwanda). I am very happy to attend this program. I am inspired. What I have learned here is that a good Leader should have a transformational leadership.’’
Other Trainee who talked to us added that:’’ I have learned that something which seems to be impossible should be possible. So as leaders, we have to be examples of transformation everywhere we are.’’
Mizero Jean Felix, a Trainer, said that the changes you bring in your institution, define your Leadership capabilities. He also encouraged the trainees to exploit the Technology positively. He added: ‘‘You Leaders! In your daily activities you use Technology. So what you have to do is to use it in a right way. In today’s World, Technology is leading us. But, once you use it in a bad way, you fail instead of gaining.’’
Dr.Ange Imanishimwe, one of organizers and a trainer, he told us that this program was initiated to train Leaders in different levels such as Local governance, Private sector and civil societies in order to boost their capabilities in Leadership and Governance. He said: ‘’We based on youth who had been founded nongovernmental organizations and those who started their own companies and Leaders of cooperatives to teach and train them on how Good governance and Leadership should be applied to get success. So in this program, we have discussed more things. We looked where they are and where they want to be, by showing them real ways to achieve their goals to develop themselves, the country, continent and the World in general.Link/Kinyarwanda:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIsRXkHG21M&t=80s
In his message, Dr.Ange Imanishimwe, gave the trainees crucial remarks by indicating that the Leaders should be the rays of success in their institutions. He said: ‘’It is not enough to be a leader. For leaders, it’s important to value new ideas, to create a network and make a follow up. You should always show your strong side instead of showing your weakness.’’ Link/Kinyarwanda:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd1_FCsCWGc&t=37s
On that day, 21 people including CEOs were trained on Leadership and Good Governance. It’s expected that this training program of ‘LEAD’ will reach to 500 people, who will also train others from Local governance, Private sector and civil societies in Rwanda.
