Background
and justification
and justification
The
government of Rwanda has put in place measures to promote the Gender Equality
agenda through the establishment of a strong policy and legal framework
detailing the role of different actors in this domain. The implementation of
these instruments has seen many initiatives come up including the National
Gender Machinery Support Program between the One UN and the Gender Machinery.
This program is supported by UN Women, UNFPA and UNDP under the UN governance
theme group. The aim of the program is to strengthen the capacity of the
National Gender Machinery as a whole, specifically the Ministry of Gender and
Family Promotion (MIGEPROF), Gender Monitoring Office (GMO), Rwanda Women
Parliamentarians Forum (FFRP) and National Women´s Council (CNF) for them to adequately
promote the Gender Equality agenda at country level.

One of
the key activities of the project is to conduct a Mapping of all Stakeholders
intervening in the area of Gender and Family Promotion, Women’s Empowerment
as well as Gender-Based Violence (GBV). This will permit the availability of
information and enhance effective coordination of the ongoing interventions of
the different stakeholders and actors.

As a
matter of fact, a big number of institutions/organizations (public and private,
international and local NGOs, Cooperatives, Civil Society Organizations,
Companies, Projects, UN Agencies and Development Partners) are involved in
Gender and Gender Based Violence (GBV) related work in all districts across the
country. Whereas this is a big strength in achieving gender equality, it is
also important to consolidate and effectively coordinate interventions to avoid
duplication which may translate into an inefficient use of resources and
efforts.
