Background and context

About RWAMREC

Rwanda Men’s Resource Centre (RWAMREC) is a non-government organization striving to achieve gender equality through the promotion of positive masculinities and male engagement approaches in preventing gender-based violence in Rwanda. Basing on the understanding for the Men Engage approach, RWAMREC works in the following 4 areas: Community empowerment; building Healthy Families, Promotion of Gender Justice and Youth Mentorship. RWAMREC operates in 24 districts of Rwanda to promote gender equality and to fight against sexual and gender-based violence.

About Generation Gender (GenG) Rwanda Program

Generation G Rwanda is a coalition; led by RWAMREC, that brings together three NGOs including the Rwanda Men’s Resource Centre (RWAMREC), Health Development Initiative (HDI), and African Youth and Adolescent Network (AfriYAN), which have been collaborating in gender-related advocacy efforts since 2017. The objective of this 5 years program is to engage youth meaningful for a gender just and violence-free society that gives impetus to the Gender and GBV policies in Rwanda.

The Generation G Rwanda coalition intends to contribute effectively to the amplification of young feminist voices, strengthening the role of young men as allies, by focusing on human rights and youth participation and reversing harmful norms and unequal power relations stemming from intersecting identities, to embrace sexual and gender diversity through a gender-transformative approach.

In order to influence different actors to change and ally with them on advocacy journey, we need interventions designed with respect to gender transformative approach, meaningful and inclusive youth participation, inclusiveness, do no harm and accountability such as a youth and women inclusive community scorecard which will allow monitoring of gender and GBV policies in youth and women perspectives, empower citizens to identify policy gaps and provide feedback to policy implementation, and improve the accountability of service providers.

This is why at the community level; in order to ensure citizen’s participation, the community scorecard (CSC) approach will be employed to fit the needs and style of youth and women as well as the inclusion of people with specific needs. And RWAMREC will be using Community Scorecard to ensure accountability in the adoption, adaptation, and implementation of GTA by policymakers
