Overview
Agaciro Development Fund was initiated in 2011 and launched the following year. The Government of Rwanda established it to build fiscal reserves and protect the national budget from external shocks. The fund holds Hotel Umubano in Kigali and mineral royalties. It also maintains a fixed-income portfolio denominated in Rwandan assets. Capital deployment occurs through direct ownership and project funding aligned with government priorities rather than external fund commitments. Scott T. Ford chairs the board while also leading Westrock Group. Tesi Rusagara serves as chief executive. The fund joined the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds in 2018 and co-founded the African Sovereign Investors Forum. Ownership rests entirely with the Rwandan state, creating a direct link between investment decisions and national development mandates.
