On this week’s episode of The Long Form podcast, we are joined by Usta Kaitesi, the CEO of Rwanda Governance Board, for a wide-ranging discussion on Rwanda’s misogynist past and how the nation changed that image by breaking down gender barriers and promoting equality.

The World Economic Forum ranked Rwanda top in Africa and sixth globally in its 2022 Global Gender Gap Report. The country is also hosting the Women Deliver conference from July 17 to 20 – the first time the event is held on the continent.
