order to deliver gender responsive services to its members, the Rwanda
Association of Local Government Authorities (RALGA) developed a
four year
gender strategy in order to have a structured guideline for its gender equality
and mainstreaming initiatives back in 2010. This gender strategy had some gaps
like: not linking the gender strategy related learning process to the strategy
-design and the lack of adequate tools to accompany the gender mainstreaming
especially with regard to planning, budgeting and M&E processes. Moreover,
as the former gender strategy was aligned to the rd RALGA strategic plan which
ended in 2015, it is evident that an updated strategy to guide the gender
mainstreaming into RALGA procedures and operations is needed as RALGA is
currently halfway implementing the 3rd strategic plan (2015-2020).
Furthermore,
since 2017, RALGA started a new partnership with VNG International (The
cooperation Agency of the Association of Dutch Municipalities) for the
implementation of a new multi country program called Inclusive Decisions at
Local Level (IDEAL 2017-2021). In Rwanda, the IDEAL project which supports the
six secondary city Districts (Musanze, Rubavu, Rusizi, Nyagatare, Muhanga and
Huye). The objective of IDEAL project in Rwanda is to strengthen local
governments that have broad based legitimacy and social cohesion in urbanizing.
In fact, one of the project outcomes is that Local decision-making processes of
Rwandan secondary city districts on urbanization are more inclusive. Under this
outcome the results indicators include elements such as: Women’s concern are
included within local decision making and policy development and Districts
budgeting and planning process is gender sensitive. Therefore, given the
existing limitations affecting women effective participation in the decision
processes related to their District urbanization it is obvious that the project
will play a key role in addressing some of these gender equality challenges.
