At DP World Kigali, our people are our greatest strength. As I take on the role of Managing Director, I remain firmly committed to cultivating a culture of teamwork, resilience, and operational excellence. Our ability to drive sustainable growth, expand our regional presence, and create long-term value begins with a shared vision—and the dedication of every individual in our organization.
Together, we will focus on strengthening our principles:

Driving Growth by seizing new opportunities and overcoming challenges.
Adapting & Evolving to meet the dynamic needs of our industry.
Building for a Better Future by embracing sustainable corporate standards and contributing to the prosperity of Rwanda.
With our growing footprint, DP World Kigali is emerging as a true one-stop logistics solution provider for the region—offering integrated services across contract logistics, bonded warehousing, cold chain, freight forwarding, customs clearance, local distribution, and inland container depots (ICDs).
Our operations are strategically positioned to serve the heart of Africa, connecting Rwanda with key trade partners across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, Burundi, and Tanzania through corridors such as Rusizi, Gisenyi, Rubavu, and Rusumo. These gateways are not just logistical pathways—they are lifelines of economic integration, regional development, and global connectivity.
We are proud to contribute to Rwanda’s transformation as a regional logistics hub, enabling smoother trade, faster transit, and greater opportunities for all stakeholders.
As we look ahead, I am confident that—with the strength of our people and the power of our shared purpose—we will continue to drive meaningful impact across Rwanda and the wider East African community
Welcome to the next chapter of growth at DP World Kigali. Together, let’s shape the future of logistics in Africa.

Supporting Rwanda and its growth
Our Commitment
We are passionate about contributing to our local communities by investing in business development projects. We grow local talent by providing internship opportunities for young graduates through our Grow Program, and since 2018, our inland port in Kigali has created 667 direct and indirect jobs aiding with 98% local employment.
Our Future
We work to support Rwanda’s ambition of establishing itself as a key services and trade hub for the region. We know if we find solutions that make intra-Africa and international trade easier, then we will contribute towards accelerating growth in local businesses, in Rwanda’s economy, and the region’s success.
