Mission report: the national gender policy

Abstract

The UNECA-SRDC Kigali office was requested by the Government of Rwanda to provide technical expertise and leadership for developing the National Gender Policy. The SRDC office in turn requested the African Centre for Women to provide technical advisory services in the process of the exercise given that the SRDC does not have in house gender technical capacity. Following this request, regional advisory services were provided in drafting the terms of reference and in reviewing the draft background papers for the gender policy that was prepared by the consultant.
