Rwanda Capital Markets Authority Chief Executive Officer Romeo Ngarambe urged businesses and investors to incorporate children’s rights into investment decisions and corporate governance. Speaking at the Ring the Bell for Children ceremony, organized by the Rwanda Stock Exchange in partnership with UNICEF Rwanda, he emphasized that responsible investment should extend beyond financial returns to consider benefits for children, families and communities.

The ceremony marked Rwanda’s participation in the global Ring the Bell for Children campaign, making the Rwanda Stock Exchange the first stock exchange in Africa to join the initiative. The event took place ahead of World Children’s Day on Nov. 20.
