A Portfolio of Ecosystem Diagnostics, Market Insights, and Entrepreneurial Support Strategies

About This Portfolio:

Compiled and led by Gloria Kantengwa, this portfolio showcases a series of high-impact research, evaluation, and advisory projects implemented across Rwanda. Each project reflects a strategic effort to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems—particularly for youth, women, and SMEs in emerging sectors such as agribusiness, circular economy, IT, and social enterprise.
From rural feasibility studies and startup diagnostics to market readiness assessments and national innovation mappings, this body of work illustrates a deep commitment to evidence-based, inclusive, and actionable ecosystem support.
