In collaboration with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s (UNL) CASNR-CUSP Fellowship Program, The BRIDGE connected Evariste Hategekimana to a 6-month internship at the National Agricultural Export Development Board, following his graduation from UNL. With the support of The BRIDGE, he was then selected to join Vanguard Economics’ Young Impact Associate program, a one-year professional development and leadership program in Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) that aims to inspire young African professionals to transform the Impact Measurement field. Today, Evariste is a full-time employee at Vanguard Economics, holding an esteemed position of Senior Analyst. His journey from an intern to a senior role is a testament to his hard work and the partnerships The BRIDGE has cultivated with Rwanda’s top employers.
