Prince Shamumbo District - Nyamagabe The Impact Footprint Growth Guide: Prince Shamumbo, 27 Location: Kigeme Refugee Camp, Nyamagabe District, Southern Province Total Ecosystem Portfolio: 65 Displaced Youth MSMEs Trained & Mentored Demographic Breakdown: 58 Young Women | 57 Persons with Disabilities When Prince Shamumbo speaks to entrepreneurs in the Kigeme Refugee Camp about overcoming structural barriers, his words carry the weight of lived experience. Arriving in Rwanda in 2012 from the conflict-torn Rutshuru Territory in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Prince experienced the harsh realities of displacement firsthand: acute food insecurity, family separation, and the systemic isolation that often leaves young refugees locked out of the formal labor market. Despite these barriers, Prince completed his secondary education in 2021. Realizing that the vast talent inside the camp was hitting a wall due to a lack of structural networks, he joined the KATAZA Program in May 2026. His mission was clear: to serve as a living bridge converting raw survival instinct into structured business success. Equipped with the African Management Institute’s ( AMI ) rigorous business methodology, Prince does not rely on guesswork. Armed with his smartphone running the FieldPro system , Prince actively audits and diagnoses camp-based micro-enterprises, pinpointing exact operational leaks in real time. Out of the 65 youth-led enterprises he has diagnosed and trained since May 2026, 58 are young women, and 57 are refugees , a demographic historically left behind by traditional financial literacy initiatives. Prince’s data-driven intervention targets the core vulnerabilities of informal trade through a strict three-step execution: Mobile Diagnostics (FieldPro): Using mobile-first technology to run health checks on informal businesses, mapping out exactly where cash flow and stock management are failing. AMI Tool Implementation: Training entrepreneurs on how to use practical, everyday business tools. Prince introduced simple bookkeeping practices that helped traders separate home expenses from business capital, driving up net profits within 30 days. Direct SACCO Capital Linkages: Once businesses are stabilized and record-keeping is institutionalized, Prince directly guides these newly bankable refugee entrepreneurs through the formal application process to secure growth loans at the nearest SACCO. Prince’s work as a Growth Guide extends beyond enterprise ledgers into holistic community stabilization. Understanding that deep economic stress often manifests as household instability, Prince successfully used his financial coaching frameworks as a tool for domestic peacebuilding. When financial arguments pushed a local refugee couple to the brink of separation, Prince intervened using a structural approach. By introducing them to transparent household budgeting and shared savings goals, he helped the family build clear communication, resolve deep conflict, and protect their household structure. "True development is about combining empathy with the right technology," Prince notes on World Refugee Day. "When a young woman or an entrepreneur inside this camp uses a practical tool to master their finances, they become bankable. Resilience becomes real economic progress."

Back to News News Africa African Management Institute Named to Financial Times 2024 Fastest Growing Businesses in Africa 15 May 2024 Kigali, Rwanda - The African Management Institute (AMI) has earned a prestigious spot on The Financial Times 2024 Fastest Growing Businesses in Africa list with the 2nd fastest growth rate in the Education and Social Services category and ranked 67th overall out of the 125 companies. The listing ranks companies across Africa by the highest compound annual growth (CAGR) in revenues between 2019 - 2022. AMI’s growth during this period is a reflection of the company’s sustained growth and resilience while coming out of the Covid-19 season. Speaking in Kigali at the Africa CEO Forum, AMI's CEO and co-founder, Rebecca Harrison, shared her thoughts about the recognition and gratitude for the dedication of AMI's team and partners. "As we celebrate our tenth year in business, as an African champion for Africa’s business champions, we’re deeply honored to be recognized among the Financial Times Fastest Growing Businesses in Africa for 2024.

The effectiveness of AMI’s practical learning programmes has been a key factor in its growth. Focused on improving individual performance, increasing skills and powering business results for the continent’s most critical sectors and businesses, AMI’s deep ability to track effectiveness of programming has shown that 93% of learners apply what they learn on the job and 86% of businesses report improved performance. Through its blended learning programs, AMI has become a critical partner for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), impact partners, and the continent’s growth stage and established companies, all striving to improve performance, drive growth and compete globally. Founded in 2014, AMI has grown rapidly by identifying gaps in conventional training and creating solutions that meet the practical needs of business leaders in Africa. AMI’s programs target learning needs through diagnostics, deliver live learning experiences, and reinforce concepts learned through downloadable tools and on-the-job action learning activities.

Empowering African Leaders for Sustainable Impact: The Hatch Africa Story All Stories Position: Regional Sales Manager Company: Hatch Africa Programme: Management Development Programme Country: Uganda The story behind the journey Imagine achieving a 30% reduction in missed deadlines, increasing task completion rates from 60% to 80%, and seeing sales growth in 5 out of 7 countries, all within months. This isn't just a hypothetical; it's the tangible impact Hatch Africa, a leading distributor of high-yielding chickens across six Sub-Saharan African countries, realised after investing in strategic corporate training. Hatch Africa, founded in 2010, is driven by a powerful purpose: to make Sub-Saharan Africa households healthier and wealthier by distributing high-yielding, tropically adapted chicken. Hatch Africa aims to distribute one chicken per person per year in each market, ensuring every family has enough affordable protein in the home. Contributing over $520 million in additional profit for smallholder farmers in 2024, Hatch Africa understood that scaling their profound impact on 2.6+ million farmers annually hinged on equipping their leaders for real-world results. Nurturing Leadership for Scalable Growth As Hatch expanded into Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, and Ivory Coast, middle managers faced challenges balancing corporate strategy with on-the-ground realities. As is typical of many first-time or new managers, leaders defaulted to doing the work themselves, issuing one-way directives, or firefighting daily crises. Unaddressed, these challenges could hinder Hatch Africa's ability to efficiently scale operations and maximise its profound impact on rural communities. A critical need emerged to support its management team with advanced leadership and operational skills. A Transformational Journey: The Management Development Programme Hatch Africa implemented AMI Enterprise’s comprehensive Management Development Programme , focused on the practical, real-world application of leadership principles. A core element was the "Change Challenge", where managers identified and directly tackled critical issues within their teams. Through this practical application and peer feedback, participants immediately translated learning into measurable on-the-job improvements. Impact Enhanced Accountability and Ownership : Euniter Jemutai, a Regional Sales Manager in Kenya, wanted to build leadership skills to help her rally a successful team. “What stood out as amazing during the online courses was how directly it addressed the real challenges I was facing as a Regional Sales Manager,” she remarked. “ One standout moment was realising how much of our performance gaps were linked to unclear communication and lack of structured follow-through. After applying the planning tools and accountability frameworks, I noticed my team became more focused, responsive, and aligned.” At the end of the programme, she successfully built accountability and ownership within her sales team, leading to increased ownership in 5 out of 7 team members and improved KPIs in 3 months. Team actions now align with regional goals, and sales growth was observed in 5 out of 7 counties. Improved Recruitment and Sales Performance Ndyona Patricia, a Regional Sales Manager in Uganda, wanted to build her team. After the programme, her efforts in recruiting quality Area Sales Managers (ASMs) resulted in the recruitment of 3 new ASMs and a consistent onboarding of 2+ Direct Sales Representatives per month by ASMs. Sales also crossed 10,000 day-old chicks per month. This was achieved through clarifying communication goals and tailoring messages using AMI's "Getting the Message Across" tool. Optimized Procurement Efficiency The true measure of a program lies in its ability to transform individuals, a sentiment perfectly captured by Sabrine Izibyose, the Senior Procurement Officer in Rwanda. "AMI gave me a special mix of self-reflection, useful tools, and leadership training. I found it inspiring and full of energy. It helped me grow, not just in what I know, but also in my confidence and in understanding the kind of leader I want to become in the future."She significantly improved procurement approval efficiency by setting clear guidelines, providing team training, and utilising AMI tools like "Managing Up" and "Sources of Influence". This led to reduced approval errors, improved team responsiveness, faster procurement approvals, and increased on-time processing of purchase orders. Improved Operations and Project Delivery Kofi Annan, the Operations Manager in Ghana, was keen on managing his direct reports efficiently to meet set organizational targets. With guidance from the programme, he focused on improving cross-functional collaboration, utilizing AMI tools like the Work Empowerment Questionnaire and Goal Planner Template, which resulted in a 30% reduction in missed deadlines and increased task completion rates from 60% to 80%. Task reassignment was cut by 60% through clearer roles, and team assessment scores reached 100% last quarter due to improved collaboration. Tangible Results The Management Development Programme yielded significant and measurable improvements across various operational aspects at Hatch Africa , demonstrating the direct correlation between investing in leadership and achieving organizational goals. Increased Sales & Onboarding : Sales crossed 10,000 DOCs per month, with ASMs consistently onboarding 2+ DSRs per month. Enhanced Team Ownership : 5 out of 7 team members showed increased ownership in 3 months. Improved Sales Performance : Sales growth was observed in 5 out of 7 counties. Reduced Missed Deadlines : A 30% reduction in missed deadlines was achieved. Higher Task Completion Rate : Task completion rate increased from 60% to 80%. Reduced Task Reassignment : Task reassignment was cut by 60%. Improved Team Assessment Scores : Team assessment scores reached 100% last quarter. The success of the Management Development Programme at Hatch Africa underscores the profound impact of investing in human capital. By empowering its managers with essential skills and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, Hatch Africa is not only achieving its ambitious business goals but also strengthening its core mission of making farmers healthier and wealthier across sub-Saharan Africa.

Empowering entrepreneurs to innovate during uncertainty All Stories Position: Company: Programme: Country: The 26th of March 2020 will forever be engraved in the minds of South Africans as the day the world as they knew it changed. It was the day the first lockdown restrictions were announced and many business owners had to temporarily shut their doors. Yvonne Dimikatso Mashita of Pretoria, a qualified dietician who was running her mobile health and wellness business, was no exception. However, as Yvonne learned, challenges can be the very catalyst one needs to build courage. Her story dates back to 2012 when she took the plunge and moved to Pretoria to start her own private wellness practice after successfully managing the Dietetics Department at a district hospital in Limpopo. Her new practice did well and steadily grew as she was able to hire two employees until the pandemic hit. “When the lockdown was imposed, I had hope that it would only last for three weeks and then come to an end.” More than a year later, South Africa and many other African countries were still under lockdown. Many businesses were negatively impacted by the pandemic and Yvonne was no exception. “When the lockdown was put into effect, I made 0% revenue because clients could not come to me. During those difficult times, I tried to use my time effectively. I looked into avenues of self-development, opportunities that would help me learn more about entrepreneurship. That is when I came across the AMI Survive to Thrive programme on the show - Talk with Rams. “Survive to Thrive exposed me to tools that I was able to use right away. I learnt how to communicate effectively with my employees, budget, and make necessary adjustments to keep my business running.” Yvonne says the programme helped her find ways to retain her employees and keep her business afloat. She used AMI’s Innovation tool to help her conceptualise and start a new business. “I love how I have become innovative and able to identify new business opportunities. I have now launched a Fitness Cafe in partnership with a local gym. We sell healthy supplements, smoothies, and many other products. We also now provide dietary products to our clients instead of prescribing for them to buy at a pharmacy.” Between March and August last year, Yvonne’s revenue went down. but now things have improved and her revenue is up by 70%. “Knowledge is power. Seek help if you do not know the answer. Surround yourself with the right people and ask a lot of questions. Listen, learn and then apply all that you have learned,” she says.

Through the Kataza Program, he also strengthened key business management practices, receiving support in customer research, market research, and record keeping. These skills helped him better understand customer needs, assess market opportunities, and make more informed decisions about how to grow his enterprise. With support from the Kataza Program, Boscon strengthened the foundations of his business and adopted a more deliberate approach to growth. By improving his understanding of his customers, the market, and his business performance, he gained a stronger basis for making investment decisions. Boscon reports that these efforts have contributed to increased revenue and the expansion of his business, while also giving him renewed motivation and greater confidence in his livelihood. As a result, Chez Boscon Boutique has created three new jobs while sustaining one existing position. Of the three new jobs, two went to young women and one to a young man, bringing women’s representation in the workforce to 75%. Beyond these direct employment opportunities, the business also enables other community members to earn income through casual work. Boscon is also continuing his training with RWAMREC to strengthen his marriage. The growth of Chez Boscon Boutique has therefore created benefits beyond the business itself. For Boscon, the RWF 4.5 million loan provided the capital to expand, while business development support helped him become more intentional about managing that growth. Reflecting on the program’s impact, he noted: “ AMI has helped young people understand business. We can see change among the young people we have worked with. We thank the Government and all the partners implementing this program .” Today, Chez Boscon Boutique represents a growing source of income and employment, particularly for young women, while Boscon’s improved livelihood has strengthened his ambition to continue building his enterprise “ AMI has helped young people understand business.
