It is looking for citizens of Rwanda or Kenya, between the ages of 25 and 35 and with a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university and a demonstrable history of entrepreneurial action to apply for the programme.
Applicants should be ready to complete the one-year fully funded Talent Investor programme on a full-time basis, and be willing to travel to Kigali for a period of three months for the residential part of the programme
Applications are open here until February 19.
