Brief History of PAM-Rwanda

The PAM Rwanda chapter was formed on April 23, 2015 with its first National Governing Council being established. A Consultative Council composed of different commissions was subsequently created to propel forward the work of PAM in Rwanda. Several branches have since been opened in schools particularly targeting university students. The main purpose was to re-ignite the Pan Africanist spirit based on a pragmatic unifying ideology. The PAM ideology should be accompanied by a culture of work and self-reliance. It should be a PAM that gives hope and a bright tangible future. The main thrust of this pragmatism is premised on the need to make PAM an organization that creates incentives to make PAM motivational and entrepreneurial. The new PAM Rwanda should focus on changing the thinking and actions of citizens. It should be a movement that does and says things that appeal to people. PAM should resonate with peoples’ lives.

PAM’s Vision

A dignified, prosperous, and peaceful Rwanda integrated into a united Africa.

PAM’s Mission

To transform Rwandans’ mindsets and institutions in alignment with Agenda 2063.
