Today, BPR Bank Rwanda Plc joined WIFR as our 11th Financial sector member. MD Patience Mutesi reaffirmed the commitment to intentionally strengthening the pipeline and capacity of Women in the workforce, Women as suppliers to institutions, and products aimed at improving Women’s lives.

“In the banking sector,we’ve achieved a 50/50 gender ratio among CEOs,but sustainability is threatened by Women holding less than 15% of management committee and supervisory roles in most banks. We must remove obstacles and foster growth opportunities.”
