Background

In 2023, Feed the Future Rwanda Hanga Akazi (HA) and Feed the Future Rwanda Kungahara Wagura Amasoko (KWA) in collaboration with GMO implemented the GE Seal Certification Program to promote gender accountability within the private sector. The primary aim of the intervention was to empower SMEs—many of which lack both the resources and awareness to implement gender-inclusive policies—with the necessary frameworks to create equitable work environments.

The program incorporated training sessions on gender mainstreaming to address misconceptions and enhance participants' understanding of gender inclusivity. Through these sessions, significant gaps were identified, prompting a comprehensive gender diagnosis within each SME, which revealed disparities such as gender-based pay gaps and a concentration of women in lower-paying roles, even in industries where women make up over 70% of the workforce. Following the diagnosis, tailored gender action plans were developed to address these issues, and coaching sessions guided SMEs in tackling specific areas, including gender pay disparities, increasing women’s representation in diverse roles, and addressing workplace harassment. Independent evaluators then assessed each SME’s progress, awarding certifications in gold, silver, or bronze categories.

The program successfully shifted mindsets, demonstrating the business value of gender accountability for SMEs, which in turn improved employee well-being, workplace harmony, and productivity. Despite progress, challenges remain, such as resource allocation and persistent cultural stereotypes that drive occupational segregation and salary disparities. The intervention revealed that traditional gender roles lead to inequality in roles, pay, and decision-making positions, with limited sexual harassment awareness and reporting, and a lack of structured policies for casual workers, contributing to persistent gender inequalities.

Inspired by the GE Seal, The Rwanda Standards Board (RSB) and GMO launched a new certification scheme based on the newly developed Gender Equality standard, RS 560: 2023.This certification marks a significant step forward in institutionalizing gender accountability in national standards and standard development processes tas an incentive to add value to Rwandas doing business.. The Gender Equality Standard provides organizations with guidance to integrate gender equality into their practices, aiding them in making gender-sensitive decisions, promoting equality, and meeting national gender commitments. Currently, the certification scheme has been developed and validated, and both the RSB and the Gender Monitoring Office (GMO) are collaborating to implement it with support from the United Nations Development Program UNDP) and other stakeholders.

Issue to be resolved

The implementation of the Gender Equality Standard certification scheme aims to address critical issues of gender inequality in the workplace. Key challenges include gender-based pay gaps, underrepresentation of women in leadership and decision-making roles, and the concentration of women in lower-paying positions within SMEs. Additionally, the program focuses on addressing the lack of structured policies that promote gender inclusivity, such as those tackling workplace harassment, ensuring equitable treatment of casual workers, and establishing broader frameworks for fostering inclusive work environments.

The interventions will also tackle cultural and structural barriers that perpetuate workplace inequalities. Persistent stereotypes and traditional gender roles contribute to occupational segregation, salary disparities, and limited access to leadership opportunities for women.

Rationale

Why HA is issuing this grant, why you want to resolve this problem.

HA is issuing this grant to address persistent gender inequalities within Rwanda’s agri-food sector, identified during the implementation pilot of the GE Seal program. This pilot, conducted in collaboration with the Gender Monitoring Office (GMO) and KWA, revealed stark gender disparities despite women’s significant representation in the sector. Although women make up a substantial portion of the workforce in agri-food small and medium enterprises (SMEs), they do not enjoy the same benefits as their male counterparts, largely due to structural/systemic and cultural barriers.

Key findings from the pilot highlighted that gender inequalities stem from entrenched traditional gender roles, which lead to occupational segregation. Women are often assigned to lower-wage roles, while men hold higher-paying and decision-making positions. For instance, in several companies with over 70% female workforce, most women were concentrated in low-paying roles, such as sorting, whereas men were more likely to occupy senior roles with higher pay. Furthermore, decision-making positions within these SMEs are predominantly held by men, reinforcing gender disparity. Workplace safety concerns, including limited awareness and reporting mechanisms for sexual harassment, create an unsafe environment for female employees. Although flexible work arrangements are sometimes offered, the absence of formal policies on inclusivity limits their effectiveness. Additionally, most casual workers—primarily women—lack benefits like paid leave, further exacerbating inequality.

Building on the insights and impact from the pilot, HA aims to empower relevant market actors, such as the GMO and the Rwanda Standards Board (RSB), to scale gender accountability within SMEs. This grant will enable the implementation and adoption of recently launched gender standards to drive gender equity through certification and standardization.

Among the key activities to be implemented include:

Under this RFA, Hanga Akazi aims to allocate resources to a service provider to strengthen the business case for the gender inclusion in the private sector through capacity development to meet the gender standard requirement. The grant will include activities such as capacitating through training and coaching 35 SMEs on gender accountability and mainstreaming as well as support to development/improving their policies and practices to be more gender responsive. This involves organizing information session with targeted firms, conducting internal gender audits (diagnosis), develop gender action plans, organizing self-evaluation with targeted firms building, and accompany them in obtaining gender standard certification. By supporting firms with tools and technical knowledge to more market players, the gender standard will be integrated into existing services provided by BDS providers for SMEs, making it more accessible and affordable.

More concretely the following activities are expected:

  • In collaboration with RSB, HA and GMO, identify participating SMEs from their pool of clients in the agri-food system.
  • Provide a comprehensive orientation to 35 companies on the services related to the GE Standard frameworks.
  • Conduct a gender diagnosis/assessment of the selected 35 companies to document their baseline status on various aspects including sales and productivity
  • Provide training, mentorship, and coaching to prepare the 35 companies for the gender equality standards certification.
  • Support companies to perform self-evaluation to assess their status regarding the gender equality standards implementation.

WHAT IS A UNIQUE ENTITY IDENTIFIER (UEI, or Unique Entity ID) &

WHY DOES MY ORGANIZATION NEED TO OBTAIN ONE?

The U.S. government is transitioning away from the DUNS number as the primary organizational identifier to the twelve-digit alphanumeric Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) starting April 4, 2022.

The UEI will be requested in, and assigned by, SAM (www.sam.gov). Organizations will no longer have to go to a third-party website to obtain their identifier. This transition allows the United States government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the government.

If your entity is registered in SAM.gov today, your Unique Entity ID (SAM) has already been assigned and is viewable in SAM.gov. This includes inactive registrations. The Unique Entity ID is currently located below the DUNS Number on your entity registration record. Remember, you must be signed in to your SAM.gov account to view entity records. To learn how to view your Unique Entity ID (SAM) go to this help article.

If your entity is not registered in SAM.gov today, please visit www.sam.gov to begin the registration process.
