The Rwanda Supreme Court, on Wednesday, July 6, certified 96 graduates who successfully completed a 6-month course in professional mediation.
To be Umuhuza (or a professional mediator), you must possess a bachelors’ degree in any field.
In total, Rwanda has 165 professional mediators to date who secured Chief Justice’s approval to start practising.
Some 250 others have also attended the mandatory 6-month course in mediation but they’ve yet to receive the green light from the Chief Justice authorising them to practise, or have not sought it.
