Gasabo District
Gasabo District is the largest of Kigali City’s three districts, stretching from the heart of Rwanda’s capital into its northern outskirts. It blends urban dynamism with pockets of rural charm, making it a strategic hub for governance, commerce, and innovation.
Economically, Gasabo thrives on a mix of public administration, real estate, and service industries. It hosts key institutions like the Parliament, ministries, and embassies, while neighborhoods like Kacyiru, Kimihurura, and Gisozi pulse with business activity and modern infrastructure.
The district is also home to vibrant markets and commercial centers from the bustling Remera and Kimironko markets to upscale developments in Nyarutarama and Vision City. Tech startups, financial institutions, and educational centers contribute to its growing knowledge economy.
While urbanization dominates, sectors like Jabana, Nduba, and Gikomero retain agricultural significance, with farming and livestock supporting peri-urban livelihoods. Gasabo’s hills and wetlands also offer eco-tourism potential, with sites like Mount Kigali and the Nyabugogo wetlands drawing interest.
The Gasabo District Office focuses on inclusive urban planning, youth employment, and digital transformation , aiming to position the district as a model for smart, sustainable development in Rwanda.
