MTN Rwanda has held
discussions with the Rwanda Civil Society Platform (RCSP) on strengthening
collaboration to advance digital and financial inclusion, education, youth
empowerment and community development.
The engagement formed part
of MTN Rwanda’s efforts to better understand community needs and identify areas
where partnerships between the private sector and civil society can create
broader social and economic impact.
During the visit to RCSP,
civil society leaders shared their perspectives on the role of collaboration in
using digital technologies to create pathways out of poverty and expand access
to opportunities.
The discussions explored
ways MTN Rwanda can strengthen partnerships with civil society organisations to
support communities through improved access to digital and financial services,
education and skills opportunities.
MTN Rwanda said connectivity
should ultimately be centred on people, opening access to opportunities and
ensuring that communities are not left behind in the country’s digital
transformation.
The company said the
engagement provided an opportunity to listen and learn from civil society
stakeholders while identifying areas of shared impact.
