I. Background
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) identified Women’s Economic Empowerment as one of its global priorities in the conviction that a woman who is economically empowered is better placed to attain empowerment in other aspects of her life. Investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a direct path toward gender equality, poverty eradication, and inclusive economic growth.
More than half of the world’s population already lives in cities, and this number is likely to grow to 70 percent by 2030. As the cities grow up, challenges also increase including urban poverty, unemployment, poor housing, and underdeveloped infrastructure, natural and human-made disasters, as well as constraints on productivity, safety, and security, especially for women and girls. UN Women in collaboration with other UN sister Agencies is implementing a Joint Programme on Sustainable Cities to support activities that are aimed to support Rwanda to create livable and inclusive cities that provide security, access to jobs, decent housing, and a better quality of life for all citizens. Reducing socioeconomic inequalities, strengthening women and girls’ economic capacity, and giving them hope and better prospects are the underlying driving forces of this call for proposal
