Charles Kabera
Kigali, Rwanda
I am Kabera Charles, a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in human resource management, tax administration, customs operations, risk management, compliance, and international trade law. My academic background includes a Master’s Degree in International Economic and Business Law, a Bachelor’s Degree in Law, a Degree in Social Entrepreneurship, Conflict Management and Leadership Studies, a Diploma in Business Studies, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice. In addition, I have obtained numerous certifications in leadership, taxation, auditing, mediation, and conflict resolution, Coaching and Mentoring, further strengthening my expertise in policy formulation and organizational leadership.
I firmly believe that leadership is the key to societal transformation. This conviction led me to join the International Institute for Global Leadership (IIGL), where I continue to refine my leadership skills and expand my impact. I am currently honored to serve as a Member of the Board of Directors for IIGL, contributing to its strategic vision and leadership development programs. I am an IIGL Graduate as well.
Currently, I serve as a Senior Professional in charge of Knowledge Management at Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA), where I develop and implement corporate strategies for knowledge retention, sharing, and transfer.
My research interests focus on taxation, legal frameworks, and leadership. My Bachelor’s Dissertation, “A Critical Analysis of the Effectiveness of Tax Offences Control Mechanisms under Rwandan Law,” deepened my understanding of taxation principles and their role in economic development.
I have also authored two books focusing on:
Tax Offences
WTO Dispute Resolution Mechanisms
Additionally, I regularly contribute articles to RRA’s internal newsletter, sharing insights on policy and leadership.
My long-term goal is to become an influential leader and policy expert, formulating strategic policies that foster sustainable economic growth and empower communities. Leadership is not merely about holding positions; it is about creating positive change. Through my work in tax policy, knowledge management, and international trade, I strive to contribute to Rwanda’s development and inspire future leaders.
I am deeply grateful to IIGL for providing a platform that nurtures transformative leadership. The knowledge and insights gained through this program are instrumental in enhancing my ability to lead, mentor, and drive meaningful change.
