Context
State and non-state organisations in Rwanda are unable to provide those affected by sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) with adequate support tailored to their circumstances. The relevant authorities lack funding, well-coordinated measures and expertise.
Objective
State and non-state actors are able to implement the national requirements relating to sexual and gender-based violence in Rwanda based on the target group.
Approach
The project operates in the following areas:
- It contributes to improved coordination of measures by state and non-state representatives to prevent violence and support those affected. Together with the Rwandan Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF), the project provides financial support for these measures.
- It develops approaches tailored to target groups so that selected local administrations can deliver better services to those affected by SGBV.
- It improves the cost-effectiveness of the work of civil society organisations which, for example, provide legal and psychosocial support to those affected.
