The launch also featured the unveiling of African-preneur Magazine: Across Borders Beyond Barriers, a publication showcasing inspiring stories of young African entrepreneurs who are breaking barriers, overcoming challenges and building successful businesses across the continent.
Missed the Global Trust Summit 2026 in Nairobi? @GTSummit2026
Worry not! Here’s a breakdown of the 3-Days that brought the world together to discuss one of today’s biggest challenges: rebuilding TRUST.
And remember, the conversations didn’t end in Nairobi! @Uwihanganye_A

Highlight of our Fellows’ Industry visit to Vylor (Corteva Agriscience) in Rosslyn, Pretoria 🇿🇦
The visit provided insights into seed systems, crop protection, biotechnology and the role of agricultural research in improving productivity and resilience.
Fellows explored how scientific innovation and private-sector investment can contribute to stronger agricultural value chains, while discussing opportunities for collaboration between established industry players and emerging agribusinesses.
As climate change, resource constraints and evolving market demands continue to reshape African agriculture, access to appropriate technologies and scientific knowledge remains increasingly important.
The engagement highlighted the opportunities available to young entrepreneurs who can integrate research, innovation and technology into their business models.

A highlight of the Generation Africa Fellowship Industry visit at Botlhale Ba Rrammutla Farms, a youth- and woman-led agricultural enterprise based in Akasia, Pretoria 🇿🇦
The enterprise demonstrated how indigenous knowledge, medicinal plants, biodiversity conservation and regenerative agricultural practices can create opportunities for entrepreneurship and value addition.

Thank you, Stuart, for a great conversation. 🙏
Young people weren't at #TrustSummit2026 to fill seats.
Over the next two years, we want them co-owning the Nairobi Call to Action: shaping initiatives, holding us accountable and building trust in their communities.

In my conversation with @Uwihanganye_A, CEO of the Trust Summit, he explains why youth inclusion was a deliberate part of the inaugural @GTSummit2026.
But beyond representation, how can young people lead the outcomes of the Summit and take the trust agenda forward?
In my conversation with @Uwihanganye_A, CEO of @GTSummit2026, I asked him why Nairobi was chosen to host the inaugural gathering on rebuilding global trust.
At a time when confidence in international institutions and global systems is increasingly being questioned, what makes Nairobi the right place to begin this conversation?
And what does hosting the Summit in Africa mean for the continent’s role in shaping a more inclusive global order? @SingoeiAKorir

Young people lead outcomes when they hold decision seats, not just panel seats: on follow-up bodies like the Nairobi Trust Council, in tracking delivery, and in leadership pipelines. Thank you @AmanyaStuartJr @Uwihanganye_A.

Dr McBride @MNkhalamba, Director of Governance and Specialised Reporting at the APRM Continental Secretariat, commended Rwanda’s commitment to strengthening governance through regular, evidence-based assessments.
Speaking at the launch of the Rwanda Governance Scorecard (@RwandaGov), he highlighted its role in informing policymaking, identifying areas for improvement and promoting the sharing of governance best practices across Africa.
He further recognised Rwanda’s contribution to developing common governance standards and frameworks within the @_AfricanUnion.

Real youth leadership begins when young people shift from observers to execution drivers. Beyond representation at The #TrustSummit2026, taking the trust agenda forward requires young creators, tech builders, and civic leaders actively tracking whether global promises are kept.

Young people at the table is a start. Young people writing the outcomes is the point. đź’
Because trust is built by those who stay to see it through.

Why dedicate an entire summit to TRUST?
I sat down with @Uwihanganye_A, CEO of the @GTSummit2026, to understand why trust, often seen as an abstract concept, is actually at the heart of how our world functions.

Our Generation Africa Fellows visited @go2uj’s Centre for Ecological Intelligence, where they explored innovative approaches to food production, including aquaponics, sandponics and community food gardens.
🎥 Here’s a highlight of the experience!

Did you know there’s a hidden cost to mistrust—and we all pay for it?
Since 2012, the trust gap between high and low-income earners has more than doubled. But that gap isn’t just abstract numbers—it shows up in everyday business and life as The Distrust Tax:
•More paperwork & verification
•Extra insurance & compliance
•Unpredictable policies & late payments
When people and businesses can’t simply take each other’s word, doing business gets more expensive for everyone. Mistrust is never free—somebody always pays the tax.

What does trust mean to you?
Day 1 of the @GTSummit2026 was about understanding Trust at Home.
I spoke to @OliviaTutu05 about reflections of DAY-1 but to also understand what trust means back home for a young African.

Do countries trust each other the same way people do?
When trust breaks down, individuals, institutions, and entire countries retreat: fewer risks, fewer strangers, and fewer commitments to partners who might not deliver.
Key takeaway from The Trust Summit 2026:
A trade agreement is just paper until borders open, payments clear, and disputes actually resolve.
Trust isn’t declared—it’s demonstrated through delivery.
