Within these frameworks, a strong and solid stage for gender equality and women’s empowerment was set for women and men of Rwanda to realize their rights, potentials, aspirations and be full partners and beneficiaries in the Country’s transformational journey. From transition to transformation, it is visible that Gender Equality and the empowerment of women in Rwanda is not a myth but an achievable goal.

The report covers gender achievements under three National Strategy for Transformation (NST) pillars (economic transformation, social transformation and transformational governance). It also portrays the gender gaps and strategic recommendations to guide policy makers and all concerned actors to further position and promote gender accountability in all sectors. In order to keep tracking, documenting and updating gender data across the NST pillars, GMO in Partnership with UN Women and other stakeholders are updating the report that is anticipated to be shared in in Ministerial forum and in the upcoming Women Deliver Conference due to take place on in July 2023.
