On September 20, 2024, our Enabel Rwanda team gathered for a retreat, immersed in the beauty of nature and the promise of collaboration.

Our first discussion centered on the urgent issue of climate change. During a session on Climate Fresk, we brainstormed actionable steps we could take to make a difference, from implementing sustainable practices in our offices to fostering environmental awareness.

Next, we focused on building authentic relationships and promoting transparency and support among staff. We then explored ways to enhance workplace wellbeing and, together, identified key actions for our Country Action Plan (CAP) for 2025, addressing climate change, authentic relationships, and employee wellbeing.

Following that, the Country Director shared insights on the new country programme (2024-2029) and called upon all staff for continued commitments to achieving Enabel’s mission.

The afternoon brought a burst of energy with fun games that reinforced our sense of togetherness and unity.
Overall, the retreat was a valuable experience, strengthening our commitment to each other and our shared mission.
