Rwanda Men’s Resource Centre (RWAMREC) is a non-government organization founded in 2006. Its goal is to challenge the masculinity norms of men and boys to positively support the promotion of gender equality in Rwanda and beyond.

2. About the Bandebereho scale up Project
Since 2013, RWAMREC in collaboration with RBC/MCCH, MIGEPROF, NCDA with technical support from Equimundo has been implementing Bandebereho intervention in Rwanda from the pilot (2013-2016), the Transition Scale (TTS) (2029-2022) and the scale up phase (2023-2025) in Rwanda. Therefore, Bandebereho ("role model") intervention is a gender-transformative intervention that works with expectant couples or with young children under the age of five to promote male engagement in reproductive, maternal and newborn and child health, caregiving, violence prevention for healthier couple relationships in Rwanda. The program uses fatherhood as an entry point to reach the couples who meet on a weekly basis in small groups of 12 couples for 17 weeks. These small groups are facilitated by the trained Community Health Workers (CHW’s) to foster the positive changes in gender couple’s relations, caregiving, violence prevention to improve women’s, children’s and men’s health.
