Hatana Wihugure: Ongera ubushobozi, uhatane ku isoko!

Introduction about the program and the enrollment process

Thank you for your interest in joining the second cohort of the Hatana Technical Assistance (TA) Program, delivered by the Development Bank of Rwanda (BRD) in partnership with the African Management Institute (AMI).

Following the successful implementation of the first cohort, which supported 50 high-potential SMEs to strengthen operations and unlock growth opportunities, we are excited to launch Cohort 2 to extend this impact to more Rwandan businesses.

This four-month, high-impact program is designed to strengthen the capacity and accelerate the growth of SMEs operating in construction materials, agro-processing, textiles, light manufacturing, and related value chains.

This application form will help us to:

1. Assess your eligibility based on the Hatana TA Program criteria.

2. Understand your business priorities and growth constraints so we can tailor technical assistance to support your strategic planning, operational efficiency, talent management, and financial readiness.

Please complete all sections honestly and accurately. Your responses are essential in ensuring that Cohort 2 supports SMEs that are committed, growth-oriented, and ready to embark on a structured journey toward resilience, competitiveness, and improved access to finance.
