Early Life & Education

Ange Kagame was born on September 8, 1993, in Brussels, Belgium, during a time when her family was living in exile amid Rwanda’s ethnic conflicts and civil war.

She is the second child and only daughter of Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s current President and former leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and Jeannette Nyiramongi Kagame, the First Lady of Rwanda and founder of the Imbuto Foundation focused on health, education, and empowerment.

Both parents come from Tutsi families that fled Rwanda in the late 1950s and early 1960s due to ethnic violence against Tutsis, with her father growing up in Uganda after his family escaped pogroms when he was a young child.

Her paternal grandparents were Deogratias Rutagambwa and Asteria (or Austeria) Rutagambwa, who also fled to Uganda during that period; details about her maternal grandparents are less publicly documented, but they, too, relocated to Burundi as Tutsi refugees.

Ange has three brothers: Ivan Cyomoro Kagame (the eldest), Ian Kagame, and Brian Kagame (the youngest), making her the middle child in a family of four siblings. Her early years were shaped by her family’s deep involvement in Rwanda’s post-1994 genocide recovery and rebuilding efforts after the RPF’s victory allowed their return to the country.

Growing up, she was influenced by stories from her parents and grandparents about exile, loss, forgiveness, and national reconciliation, which later informed her advocacy work.

For her education, she attended Dana Hall School, a preparatory school in Wellesley, Massachusetts, before earning a bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in African Studies from Smith College.

She then completed a master’s degree in International Affairs from Columbia University‘s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA).

Career

Ange Kagame has built a career that combines policy work in Rwanda’s government with advocacy and philanthropy for women’s empowerment, education, public health, poverty reduction, and gender equality.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in African Studies from Smith College, then completed a master’s in International Affairs at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). Her career began with a focus on socioeconomic development and Africa’s transformation.

Around 2015, she joined the Strategy and Policy Council (SPC) in the Office of the President of Rwanda as a policy analyst, advising on key economic policies and national strategies. She left this role to pursue her graduate studies at Columbia, finishing her master’s in 2019.

After returning to Rwanda, she became Senior Policy Analyst at the SPC in September 2019, where she spent about four years working on policy analysis and strategic planning. In August 2023, she was named Deputy Executive Director of the Strategy and Policy Council, where she now oversees policy development, advises the Head of State, and leads initiatives for Rwanda’s socioeconomic growth.

Her LinkedIn profile shows her ongoing work with the Strategy & Policy Council, with locations in both Kigali and New York. Outside of government, Ange has been involved in global advocacy since her early twenties.

She has served as a Champion for The Global Fund since 2017 and for Global Citizen since 2016, supporting health financing, poverty reduction, and sustainable development. She was also part of the Susan G. Komen Greater NYC Young Professionals Committee around 2015, helping with breast health programs.

Inspired by her mother’s work with the Imbuto Foundation, which supports education, health, and empowerment, Ange has contributed to similar causes through writing, public speaking, and participating in events that promote forgiveness, reconciliation, and youth leadership in post-genocide Rwanda.
