Foreign Policy Research Institute A Nation Must Think Before it Acts Doing Business in Rwanda

Doing Business in Rwanda

May 30, 2024 | 10:30 am | Africa Program

About the Event

Doing business in a foreign country is more than just knowing what officials to contact or what forms to complete; it’s also a matter of understanding the political, cultural, and social environment of the country or region in which a company desires to do business.

FPRI’s series on ‘Doing Business in Africa’ explores different countries on the African continent, with in-depth discussions on these issues to acquaint American businesses with the nuances of commercial endeavors in a region of the world that is little understood on this side of the Atlantic.

Joining FPRI Africa Program chair Charles Ray to discuss doing business in Rwanda, the fourth in our series, are Professor Carla Jones, a 2022 Templeton Fellow in the Africa Program and an Associate Professor in Management, Marketing and Information Sciences in the College of Business at Sam Houston State University, and Professor Nnamdi O. Madichie, Professor of marketing and Entrepreneurship in the School of Graduate Studies, University of Kigali.


FPRI is happy to provide this event free of charge thanks to the generous support of our members, partners, and event attendees. If you are not currently a member, the suggested donation is $25.
