Secretariat

Bénigne Mugwaneza Ishimwe began her working life telling stories – as a youth radio journalist in Rwanda, interviewing, listening well, and translating complex ideas for an audience. That early instinct for how communication shapes understanding has never left her. It runs through everything she has done since: facilitation, stakeholder engagement, governance coordination, and now the leadership of the Riva Network's secretariat at a pivotal moment in its evolution.
