NAIROBI: Rwanda's ICT infrastructure has been seen to grow and rise beyond expected and it has attracted a lot of foreign investors into the country. As a result, youth in the country have been urged to take into practice technology and develop ICT skills for development so as to be the next tech-preneurs of tomorrow. In an interview with The New Times, Jean Philbert Nsengimana, Minister of Youth and ICT stated that, “Our economy is predominantly based on agriculture and the youth make up 60% of the work force. It's the educated youth who don't want to get involved in agriculture because they think it's not the most profitable sector to get involved in. Naturally because they feel they are educated the want to get a high paying job because they relate agriculture to subsistence farming and not commercial agriculture.” The Women and Young Professionals in Science competition is an open competition that seeks to recognize and reward the African women and young professionals that are undertaking scientific and innovative research. Daphrose Gahakwa, Deputy Director General in charge of Research at the Rwanda Agricultural Board (RAB) said that the competition was positive and she encouraged women to take part in it.
