FOREWORD

The Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda of June 2003 revised in 2015, gives GMO a mandate of

monitoring the compliance to gender equality principles at all levels and fight against GBV for inclusive

and sustainable development.

To realize its mandate, GMO through a broad based consultative process, designed a five-year Strategic

Plan that builds on the gains and lessons learnt from the implementation of 2011-2016 strategic plan. It lays

the foundation of the engagement with state and non-state actors, and Rwandans at large in promoting

accountability to gender Equality. The Strategic Plan comes at a defining phase of strategic planning

frameworks including Rwanda’s Vision 2050, National Strategy for Transformation and Prosperity, Seven

Year Government Program, Africa’s Agenda 2063 and Sustainable Development Goals.

This five-year Strategic Plan gives us a challenging task ahead of continuously building effective gender

accountability systems and institutional capacity to enable GMO serve to the interests of all Rwandans

through promoting inclusive participation of all Rwandans to the development of the Country. The

support and commitment of the Government of Rwanda in promoting accountability to gender equality

enabled GMO’s delivery to its mandate throughout the implementation of the last five-year strategic

plan. We also acknowledge the role played by development partners including SIDA and One-UN towards

the realization of GMO commitments in the last five years.

As we move forward to implement this new strategic plan (2017-2022), we continue to encourage

the engagement of a wide range of stakeholders in promoting accountability to gender equality and

fight against GBV. We are conscious that it will continue to be a dynamic document aligned to national

development aspirations and new emerging trends in the gender sector.

On behalf of the GMO High Monitoring Council, I thank all stakeholders and experts for their outstanding

contribution during the development of this Strategic Plan. We look forward to working together to make

gender equality a reality across all sectors.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Gender Monitoring Office (GMO) is mandated to monitor the respect and compliance of gender

equality principles across all sectors and at all levels as well as monitoring the effectiveness of Gender

Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response mechanisms.

The underlying focus of GMO is being “An institution that upholds gender accountability for inclusive

sustainable development in Rwanda” with a mission to “effectively monitor gender mainstreaming

and the fight against GBV/Injustices across all sectors to achieve gender equality in Rwanda”.

This Strategy is a statement of Gender Monitoring Office priority actions to ensure accountability to

gender equality and fight against gender based violence across all sectors in a five-year period (2017-2022).

The development of this Strategic Plan was informed by the end evaluation of the previous strategic plan

and high level strategic consultations.

It aims at providing a framework for implementation, monitoring and evaluation; to strengthen existing

and establish new accountability approaches/systems for their effectiveness to realize GMO mandate as a

national ‘observatory’ for gender equality principles and fight against GBV across all sectors.

GMO Strategic Plan is delivering to the vision of the National Gender Policy that states: “Gender equality

in the Rwandan society is sustained through increased accountability of all sectors” by embarking on four

strategic objectives:

o To institutionalize gender accountability at all levels (public, private, CSOs &FBOs)

o To promote equitable and effective service delivery to GBV/gender injustices

o To upgrade GMO into a hub of knowledge on gender equality and accountability

o To promote the professionalism and institutional development for effective

delivery to gender accountability

In the above context, GMO will focus on the institutionalization of gender accountability in all sectors

through existing accountability mechanisms. The institutionalization process will further lead to initiation

of new gender responsive accountability systems across public, private, NGOs/CSOs and FBOs.

Regarding the promotion of equitable and effective GBV service delivery, GMO’s monitoring interventions

will focus on existing mechanisms on prevention and response to Gender Based Violence with particular

emphasis on assessing the effective contribution of community based mechanisms on GBV service

delivery.


2

The Office will also serve as a national hub for information and data on gender equality and

accountability. This will be realized through a fully functional gender and GBV databank as well as a

web based reporting system on international commitments that will be operationalized by a research

and documentation department to be established. Staff, organizational and institutional capacities

will be enhanced to deliver to the implementation of the set strategic objectives.

To adequately realize the above commitments, GMO seeks to employ broad based strategies of

strengthening gender accountability mechanisms, fostering inclusive partnership, promoting research

on gender equality principles and enhancing resource mobilization for the effective implementation

of this strategic plan.

Finally, this strategic plan will continue to be aligned to national, regional and international

development agenda as will be defined in the Rwanda’s Vision 2050, next generation of Rwanda’s

National Strategy for Transformation (formerly EDPRS) as well as the Sustainable Development Goals

(SDGs).

CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO GENDER EQUALITY IN RWANDA

1.1. Gender Equality in National and Global Context

The respect of Gender Equality principle is strongly embedded in the fundamental principles of Rwanda’s

Constitution of June 2003 as revised in 2015 and has witnessed a continued supportive political will. In many

instances, His Excellency Paul KAGAME, the President of the Republic of Rwanda re-affirmed that good

governance, good economic management, and respect of human rights requires gender equality and that men

and women have to be true partners and beneficiaries for sustainable development.1

Aligning with the Constitution, the Government of Rwanda placed gender equality as one of the key factors

contributing to the country’s sustainable development, good governance and inclusiveness. To implement

this principle, several policies, laws and strategies have been initiated to support the translation of such

commitments into action.

It is in this respect that Rwanda Vision 2020 and 2050, the ending Economic Development and Poverty

Reduction Strategy2 (EDPRS II) as well as the upcoming National Strategy for Transformation ( NST1) reaffirmed

the country’s commitments to promote Gender Equality and end Gender Based Violence ( GBV). As guided

by the National Gender Policy revised in 2010 and the Gender National GBV Strategy adopted in 2011, Gender

mainstreaming across all development sector’s strategies was adopted as a crosscutting approach and several

indicators have been proposed and are tracked in different national surveys allowing periodic measurement of

progress and gaps in implementing the respect of Gender Equality at all levels.

Furthermore, the Government of Rwanda initiated different laws to reinforce the institutionalization of

gender equality and the fight against GBV. Some of the most groundbreaking laws that contributed to a very

significant change in terms of equal opportunities for men and women include:

1 Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF) 2014, Celebrating Gender Equality for Sustainable Development: 20 years of Liberation, Kigali, Rwanda


4

Law Nº 27/2016 of 08/07/2016 governing matrimonial regimes, donations and successions: This law provides for equal inheritance rights between boys and girls as well as property management among married couples.

The Law No 43/2013 of 16/06/2013, governing Land in Rwanda: Both men and women are guaranteed equal rights on land access, ownership and utilization.

Law N° 13/2009 of 27/05/2009 regulating labor in Rwanda. This provides for protection of workers against gender based violence and any kind of harassment at the work place.

Organic Law No. 12/2013/OL of 12/09/2013 on State Finances and Property: This law has supported to institutionalize financing for gender equality across Government expenditures.

Law N° 003/2016 of 30/03/2016 establishing and governing maternity leave benefits scheme: This guarantees security of women employment and protection of a child.

Law No 59/2008 of 10/09/2008, on the Prevention and Punishment of Gender-Based Violence criminalizes GBV offenses that were before considered as family matters. This was further reinforced by the Organic Law No 01/2012/OL of 02/05/2012 instituting the Penal Code especially on issues of criminalizing child defilement, human trafficking, marital rape, forced marriage.

The Law N°54/2011 of 14/12/2011 relating to the rights and the protection of the child: This guarantees the protection of all children against abuse.

Law Nº 32/2016 of 28/08/2016 governing persons and family: This law governs families and properties and also promotes gender equality principles.

For effective implementation and coordination of gender equality and women empowerment, the Government of Rwanda established a well-positioned gender machinery composed with institutions devoted to advance specific aspects of promoting gender equality in the country’s development.

In this line, institutions (Ministry of Gender and Family promotion, the National Women Council and the gender Monitoring Office) have specific mandates but with complementary roles. The Gender Monitoring Office was established to oversee compliance to gender equality principles and effective GBV service Delivery.

As Rwanda prepares to kick start the National Transformation Strategy, Gender Monitoring Office through its new Strategic Plan 2017-2022 will continue to ensure that gender dividends are sustained and consolidated and that gender accountability is institutionalized to accelerate the gender agenda and complement the work being done by the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion and its agencies.

At the global level, Rwanda like many other ratified and domesticated quite numerous regional and international legal instruments that are geared towards promoting gender equality.

These include but not limited to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and 1820, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), The Maputo Protocol, and recently Agenda 2063 and the MDGS/ SDGs, HeForShe Commitments and many others.

In the aftermath of the Genocide against the Tutsi, some of the resolutions played a critical role in inspiring the country’s gender agenda. The 1995 Beijing declaration and Platform for Action came barely 1 year after the horrific genocide committed against the Tutsi in 1994. Its review 20 years later, displayed a range of success stories positioning Rwanda as one of the leading nations in the World. 5 years later, the 2000 UNSC Resolution 1325 came when Rwanda was fully engaged in the reconstruction period. Again the country took this opportunity to re-affirm its commitment in building a gender responsive development framework. The evaluation of the first UNSCR 1325 Action Plan in 2014 revealed that the country purposively adopted and implemented the resolution through its reconstruction and peace building agenda. Law reform was undertaken to domesticate the different provisions of the Resolution with the 2003 Constitution, revised in 2015 setting the tone for the foundation of a gender responsive legal and policy environment.

The successful implementation of the MDG 3 was another proof of Rwanda’s determination to make Gender Equality one of the foundation of its development agenda. The establishment of the KICD (Kigali International Conference Declaration) permanent secretariat for security organs to end gender based violence as well as the SDGs Regional Center for Excellence in Rwanda testify for the continued efforts of the country to domesticate gender related global commitments and its sustained drive to spearhead gender inclusiveness in its social economic vision.

The implementation of these global commitments and many others have paved the way for a robust national legal and policy framework that draws from homegrown solutions and takes inspiration from international experience to shape a country free from gender discrimination and exclusion.

GMO as required by its mandate, will continue to track Rwanda’s performance in

complying with the regional and global gender agenda and document lessons learned to

inform the region and beyond of Rwanda gender status.

1.2. Key Country Achievements on Gender Equality and GBV Service Delivery

Drawing from the conducive legal and policy frameworks as seen above, Rwanda has registered a number of achievements in regard to gender equality. These achievements are recorded in the various government development pillars which are good governance, economy, justice and social wellbeing.


6

Under governance and leadership, Rwanda’s women have played a pivotal role in the country’s political development and are well represented at leadership positions from local to national levels. With the constitutional requirement on minimum quota for at least 30% of women in decision making organs, Rwanda leads the world in terms of women’s representation in Parliament with 64% of women in the lower chamber 43% as Ministers, 32% as senators, 43.6% as District Advisory Council Members, 42.1% in judiciary and 32.2% as Ambassadors.

At decentralized levels women stand at 43.6% as active members of district advisory councils. The progressive increase of women in public positions and their presence in key decision making positions is triggering trust for women, familiarizing the community with women’s leadership and an inspiration to the young girls.

As a result of unlocking the economic potential of all Rwandans, Rwandan women have accessed finance at the rate of 39 % in 2016 as compared to 16% in 2012 and have embraced existing opportunities including their enrolment and participation in Umurenge SACCO at 46%. Important to mention also is the remarkable decrease of women’s financial exclusion from 32.2% in 2012 to 13.6%1 in 2016 compared to their male counterparts that was 22.4% in 2012 down to 9.8% in 2016. In addition, Rwanda has witnessed women’s access to land with 26% of women owning land and 54% of women co-owning land with their spouses. Women’s access to financial services and land has greatly contributed to their progressive shift from economic dependence to increased self-reliance and feminized poverty reduction.

As a new trend, ICT development in Rwanda has contributed to widen women’s and men’s education and financial opportunities among others. The use of mobile phones has expanded trading opportunities, facilitated access to rapid market information and consequently contributed to increased access to financial services. Current data indicates that more than 37% of women use their cell phones to receive funds through mobile money while transforming their style of doing business and at the same time coping with societal endowed multiple roles.

In addition, E-learning offers great opportunities for women and men to access required skills and education without leaving behind the rest of their daily responsibilities. For instance, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, and those with little children or other familial responsibilities are able to upgrade their education levels through e-learning while limiting their mobility and still taking care of their children and homes.

In the Justice sector, Rwandan men and women have played visible role in conflict management structures and the entire justice system. Women represent 45% of the total community mediators (Abunzi) and 51.1% of the total MAJ staff. Rwanda is among the leading contributors of female police officers in peace keeping missions with over 446 police women deployed since 2010 until May 2014. In the same perspective, Rwanda has maintained a strong stance in the fight against all forms of Gender Based Violence and as a matter of priority, a holistic prevention and response model “Isange One Stop Centers” was established across district hospitals. The model provides 24-hour response to victims of GBV under one roof and this definitely prevents re-victimization and the risk of spoiled evidence. Similar services are being scaled up in health centers throughout the country.


7

As far as the social wellbeing pillar is concerned, literacy levels among female and male is currently at 88% and 85% respectively. Rwanda has achieved parity among girls and boys at primary school gross enrolment with figures standing at 50.1% and 49.9% respectively. At secondary school, girls’ enrolment outnumbers boys with 52.9%2. In tertiary institutions, males constitute 60.6% while females are 44.6%. In addition to the above, Rwanda adopted a Girls’ Education policy which has paid special attention to girls’ education issues. For example; the provision of sanitary towels r in-school for girls as well as the establishment of girls’ rooms have led to increased numbers of girls’ retention in school during their monthly periods.

Within the health sector, the health workforce and infrastructure development, community based health insurance scheme, innovative data collection tools including Rapid SMS for emergency labor and tracking the Maternal and Child health continuum of care have resulted in considerable decrease of maternal and infant mortality rates. For example, the maternal mortality ratio has declined significantly to 210 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2014-2015 down from 1071 in 2000 and child mortality dropped to 19 per 1,000 from 72 per 1,000 live births in last ten years.

1.3. Key Challenges to Gender Equality in Rwanda

Despite remarkable achievements on gender equality, it is still evident that some challenges persist in different aspects. Some of these challenges include but not limited to low levels of women participation in different development programs and decision-making processes at grassroots levels due to unpaid care work and lack of self-confidence to compete for strategic decision-making positions.

Other challenges include limited access to justice services especially reparation to victims of GBV /child abuse, limited access to information, persistent patriarchal mindset that affects accelerated implementation of gender sensitive laws and policies, insufficient documentation of gender equality progress and gender disaggregated data, poverty levels among women, majority of women in subsistence agriculture e.t.c.

In addition and despite remarkable strides achieved in bridging gender gaps in access to information and ICT, efforts are still needed to accelerate the pace and ensure sustained contribution and employment of women in those sectors.

At institutional level, public, private, FBOs and CSOs are still facing issues related to gender capacity gaps, low expertize on gender mainstreaming into planning and budgeting processes. These issues continue to handicap strategic positioning of gender equality as well as designing gender priorities and appropriate interventions.

CHAPTER 2: GMO STRATEGIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT

2.1. Review of 2011-2016 GMO Strategic Plan: Achievements and Lessons Learnt

Since 2011, Gender Monitoring Office on a permanent basis has been monitoring and carrying out

evaluation on the respect of gender equality principles and GBV service delivery at all levels (public,

private, Faith Based Organizations and civil society organizations). The final evaluation of the 2011-

2016 strategy confirmed significant achievements in promoting gender accountability. This section

summarizes the achievements and GMO’s contribution towards positioning gender accountability

across sectors.

2.1.1. Key Achievements

Over the last five years (2011-2016), GMO registered significant accomplishments in promoting

gender accountability and GBV service delivery across all sectors.

The Gender Monitoring Office has contributed to establish GBV accountability mechanisms by

service providers that influenced different interventions such as free civil registration, improved

quality of service delivery to GBV victims as well as mind set change on GBV prevention and response.

In addition, strategic advice for the adoption and amendment of gender sensitive laws and policies

such as Law on prevention and punishment of GBV, Rwanda Penal code, Law on matrimonial regimes

liberties and succession, Family law, Land law, Organic budget law of 2013 to mention few.

The GMO has positioned itself as a reference point of information on gender equality.

It has produced gender profiles in 25 Districts and different 10 sectors including: ICT,

Infrastructure, access to finance, job creation, social protection, governance and security,

agriculture, education etc. Gender profiling aimed at showcasing the gender status and

progress made in gender promotion as well as facilitating evidence- based advocacy

for planning, decision making and accountability on gender related commitments. The

availability of this gender baseline will allow periodic evaluations and measurement of

progress towards attaining national gender targets.

GMO contributed to drafting regional gender related bills and reporting on several international

commitments. In this line GMO developed the reports on the implementation of Gender related

international commitments notably the Beijing+20 report which resulted into elaboration of

Rwanda’s Gender Dividend booklet highlighting gender equality accomplishments since the country’s

liberation in 1994.


9

GMO also evaluated the implementation of UNSCR 1325 National Action Plan. The evaluation

revealed that Rwanda has made considerable progress in terms of impressive policy and legal

frameworks for prevention and response to GBV through enactment of laws that include the 2008

Anti-GBV law, the 2011 Child protection law and the 2011 Anti- GBV policy. These reports indicate

that women play a leading role in the socio-economic development and political landscape for

sustainable development to the extent that, Rwanda is globally considered as a leading model for

gender equality and empowerment of women in areas of engagement and participation in decision

making as well as reconciliation and peace building.

Over the years, GMO monitored the implementation of Gender Responsive Budgeting at central

and decentralized levels. This was enforced by the enactment of the organic law No. 12/2013/OL of

12/09/2013 on State finances and property reaffirmed government commitment in promoting the

financing for gender equality. This monitoring has increased the level of understanding and ownership

by central and decentralized entities on the rationale of financing for gender equality.

It is worth noting that strategic positioning of gender accountability was promoted by forging

innovative partnerships with key stakeholders which enhanced the sustainability of accountability

mechanisms at all levels. This strategic positioning is evidenced by a number of Memorandums

of Understanding (MoUs), joint activities, dialogues and awareness, social media and a revamped

website.

2.1.2. Challenges

The GMO strategic plan evaluation report revealed some key challenges that need to be addressed

in order to realize the effective implementation of 2017-2022 strategic plan. These include among

others:

o Limited human resources and capacity to realize the broad and huge mandate of ensuring

accountability of gender equality principles and GBV service delivery at all levels and in all sectors.

o The complexity and understanding of gender accountability, Gender Based Violence concepts,

gender responsive budgeting has been a major constraint to the realization of strategic

aspirations. Institutions (public, private, FBOs and CSOs) are faced with capacity development

issues to conduct gender analysis and mainstreaming into planning and budgeting development

cycle. Capacity and gender skills gaps are a handicap for identifying key gender priorities and

appropriate interventions.

o There is insufficient documentation of gender equality achievements and best practices across

sectors as well insufficient gender disaggregated data in several sectors.


10

2.1.3. Context of GMO Strategic Plan Development

The development of the new GMO strategic plan 2017-2022 builds on the success, challenges

and lessons learned from the first GMO Strategic Plan 2011-2016 and on national, regional and

international gender equality commitments as embedded in different strategic planning documents

including the Vision 2020/2050, EDPRS II/ NST, and MDGs/SDGs.

In order to ensure accountability to gender equality, this guiding document provides a strategic

direction for short, medium and long-term interventions to be implemented at all levels (public,

private, faith-based organizations and civil society organizations). Through this strategic plan, Gender

Monitoring Office is committed to:

o Strengthening existing and establishing new accountability approaches/systems for

the realization of GMO mandate as a national ‘observatory’ for gender equality;

o Continuing efforts of monitoring and ensuring the accountability to gender equality

principles and GBV service delivery across all sectors and in the NST;

o Ensuring timely monitoring and reporting on the progress made in the implementation

of gender related Regional and international instruments and fostering inclusive

partnership;

o Striving to improve and expand institutional capacity to uphold its vision and mandate

in terms of structure and resources.

2.2. Purpose of the Strategic Plan

The purpose of this Strategic Plan 2017-2022 is to guide the Office to deliver on its mandate of

ensuring accountability to gender equality and GBV service delivery for sustainable development in

the next five years.

2.3. Methodology

The development of this strategic plan applied a participatory approach involving different actors

ranging from public institutions, private sector, faith based organizations, civil society organizations

and development partners through FGDs and key informants’ interviews Insights were also received

from independent gender researchers, consultants, gender experts, academia and media.

Information derived from consultation complemented various policy documents and reports

reviewed to identify trends and align GMO strategies with Rwanda’s national gender policy priorities.

Stakeholders retreat and validation workshops were used to endorse this strategic plan content.


11

It is from this process that clear vision and mission statement of GMO were developed in accordance

with current and emerging gender and GBV priorities. Below are GMO 2017-2022 strategic plan

features:

o Strategic priorities for the next five years

o New trends that require specific attention in the context of accountability to

gender equality and GBV prevention and response

o Implementation plan detailing short, medium and long-term activities against

each output intervention and targets to be achieved.

o Monitoring, evaluation and coordination frameworks

o Detailed budget required for effective implementation and resource mobilization

strategies

CHAPTER 3: GMO STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

3.1. Vision

“Be an institution that upholds gender accountability for inclusive sustainable development in

Rwanda’’

3.2. Mission

“To effectively monitor gender mainstreaming and the fight against GBV/Injustices in public, private, civil society and religious institutions to achieve Gender Equality in Rwanda.”

3.3. Core Values

GMO organizational culture is built on the following values:

o Integrity: Professionalism, moral uprightness, honesty, incorruptibility and trustworthiness will guide GMO’s work and the implementation of this Strategic Plan 2017-2022.

o Accountability: GMO willingly takes responsibility and ownership of its actions and results.

o Transparency: The work of GMO and engagement with other stakeholders and partners has to be open, professional and participatory.

o Equity: Promotion of inclusiveness and social justice for all will be the guiding principle in GMO’s work and operations.

3.4. Goal and Strategic Objectives

The overall goal of the GMO Strategic Plan is to promote and sustain gender equality in Rwanda through increasing accountability of all sectors. In order to achieve this goal, four strategic

objectives were identified as follow:

o Strategic Objective 1: Institutionalize gender accountability at all levels (public, private, CSOs &FBOs)

o Strategic Objective 2: Promote equitable and effective service delivery to address GBV/gender injustices

o Strategic Objective 3: Upgrade GMO into a hub of knowledge on gender equality and accountability

o Strategic Objective 4: Enhance institutional development and professionalism for effective delivery of programs and operations


13

3.5. Implementation Strategies

In order to achieve the above identified strategic objectives, GMO will use the following strategies:

a. Systemizing Gender Accountability Mechanisms

Gender Monitoring Office will leverage on the existing gender accountability mechanisms that will

enhance engagement of institutions such as public and private sectors, FBOs and CSOs at all levels to

take the lead in establishing their own accountability mechanisms aimed at reducing gender inequalities

through innovative approaches including coaching on gender accountability. Decentralized levels will

also play a critical role in ensuring accountability of gender equality principles and fight against GBV

and gender injustices.

b. Fostering inclusive partnership

The success of this strategy will require bringing on board new partners while maintaining

relationships with the existing ones across all sectors and at all levels. The partnership will be

through joint monitoring, influencing positive policy change towards the implementation of gender

equality principles and GBV service delivery as well as resource mobilization for effective and timely

implementation of the strategic outcomes. The strategic partnerships initiated with bilateral and

multilateral cooperations (UN, Belgium, Sweden) ensured the piloting of innovations that contributed

to strategically positioning gender accountability in the national development context while ensuring

predictability of financing for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

On the other hand, the engagement with nontraditional partners like the faith based organizations

and youth groups, civil society showed that attainment and acceleration of progress on accounting

for gender equality is possible when there is a broad and strategic inclusiveness of different actors in

oversight mechanisms.

c. Expending and deepening Research on gender equality and fight against GBV

Research and gender disaggregated data is critical in tracking gender progress in general and it’s

relevant in assessing the existing gaps thus informing the planning process.

The effective implementation of this strategy will require conducting gender and GBV related research

to show the progress made by Rwanda in the due course of attaining gender equality and eradicating

GBV. This calls for the establishment of research, documentation and data management departments

in collaboration with other National Gender Machineries.


14

d. Resource Mobilization

Financial and human resources are critical instruments to achieve the goals of this strategic plan. Over the last five years, financing from government has gained significant momentum but a lot more needs to be done in mobilizing and expanding the resource base. Under this strategic plan, it is important that GMO engages with government institutions, bilateral agencies, foundations and Non-Government Organizations to support and fund new innovations that will promote gender accountability for sustainable development.

3.6. Strategic Outcomes for the Next Five Years

This section details the strategic outcomes which will guide the Institutional focus and orientation for the next five years. These strategic outcomes will take into consideration gender gains and lessons learnt from the implementation of GMO Strategic Plan 2011-2016. The outcomes will also focus on gender accountability institutionalization, equitable service delivery to GBV victims, becoming a hub of knowledge on gender equality and institutional development.

Strategic Outcome 1: Gender accountability is Institutionalized in all Sectors and

at all Levels

Gender equality will be institutionalized in existing and future national planning, reporting and accountability mechanisms across all sectors. GMO will continue to influence and monitor development frameworks, policies, strategies, laws and guidelines for increased gender accountability.

To ensure institutional accountability on gender equality, the existing accountability mechanisms will be mapped and assessed for their gender responsiveness. These mechanisms include but not limited to Performance Contracts, Citizen Scorecard, Rwanda Governance Scorecard and Gender Budget Statements. More so, GMO will initiate the Gender Scoring as a new accountability mechanism to enhance institutional performance in regard to gender equality.

In relation to its broader mandate of monitoring the compliance to binding regional and international commitments, GMO will continuously track the effectiveness of the implementation and timely reporting on gender related instruments. In addition to this, guidance will be provided to reporting institutions to ensure gender responsive reporting on other regional and international commitments.

Efforts will be amplified in advancing gender and GBV accountability in the private sector, civil society and faith-based organizations. In order to attain the anticipated results, collaboration with their respective federations/platforms will be enhanced, existing accountability mechanisms assessed/audited for gender responsiveness and technical guidance and support provided for the initiation of new gender accountability mechanisms. The gender Equality certification Seal initiated in 2017 will anchor the engagement with the Private sector and contribute to ensuring capacity and compliance in mainstreaming gender equality in this sector.

Strategic Outcomes 2: Equitable Service Delivery to Address GBV and Gender

Injustices is Improved

GMO’s monitoring interventions on service delivery will focus on existing and new mechanisms on prevention and response to Gender Based Violence. Particular focus will be to assess the functionality and effectiveness of different programs at the grass-roots level including but not limited to Isange One Stop Center, Umugoroba w’ababyeyi, inteko z’abaturage, inshuti z’umuryango, faith based groups, Parent-Teachers Associations and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) for their gender and GBV responsiveness. More attention will be given to the most vulnerable groups including sex workers, teen mothers, household workers and public transporters to engage them in prevention and response to GBV and human trafficking.

The outcome of the monitoring will inform the contribution of different actors in preventing GBV and delivering quality services to GBV victims including their rehabilitation and reintegration. Through continuous collaboration and partnership with various stakeholders, GMO will contribute to increased gender sensitive and equitable service delivery across all sectors at all levels.

Strategic Outcome 3: Gender Monitoring Office is Upgraded into a Hub of

Knowledge on Gender Equality and Accountability

Knowledge delivery on gender equality and accountability remains a prime responsibility of Gender Monitoring Office. Within this framework, the Office will serve as a national hub for information and data on gender equality and accountability. This will be realized through a fully functional gender and GBV databank that will be operationalized by a research and documentation department. Working with academia, research institutions, policy analysts and legal practitioners will be a strategy to generate reliable and quality information contributing to the realization of the above strategic outcome.

To reinforce the institution’s delivery to its communication objectives, GMO will elaborate a communication strategy that will guide consistent communication through innovative approaches. These will include strong media engagement for key GMO activities and organization of open public debates, dialogues and periodic conferences on gender accountability. GMO social media platforms and website will continue to be used as effective channels for quick and wider information outreach on gender equality.


16

Strategic Outcome 4: Professionalism and Institutional Development are Enhanced for Effective Delivery on Gender Accountability to Support the Inclusive National Social Economic Transformation

The strategic outcome 4 is the center piece in driving success for all the above three stated outcomes. To achieve these strategic objectives, GMO will enhance its Individual, organizational and institutional capacity. GMO as an institution needs to integrate and embrace new technologies in communications, research, procurement, auditing and financial management systems to mention but a few. Institutional capacity will be enhanced by various professional development approaches for example; on-job coaching, peer to peer learning sessions, technical assistance from partners and initiating staff motivation strategies.

As regard to organizational growth, GMO organizational structure will be reviewed to include a Research and documentation Department to promote quality research publications and data management to inform evidence based decision making on gender equality. Further still, operational processes and systems will be upgraded with particular emphasis on institutional monitoring and evaluation by developing tools and systems.

Institutional policies and laws will also be reviewed, updated and reinforced to adapt to new development changes in the field of gender and incorporate enforcement mechanisms to ensure gender accountability. Within this strategic outcome, GMO will initiate strategic partnerships on gender equality, accountability and resource mobilization. As earlier highlighted, partnership will be by means of joint monitoring, influencing positive policy change towards the implementation of gender equality principles as well as resource mobilization for effective and timely implementation of strategic outcomes. The focus will include; signing memorandum of understanding with identified and strategic partners, conducting a strategic implementation partner database, conducting a regular scoping for calls for proposals and elaborate a GMO resource mobilization strategy.

CHAPTER 4: COORDINATION, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN

4.1. Roles and Responsibilities of GMO

The implementation of the strategic plan will be coordinated by the Executive Secretariat under

strategic guidance and leadership of the High Monitoring Council, as the ultimate decision making

authority for the institution. Advice from the Consultative Committee will also play a big role in

realisation of this strategic plan.

During the course of implementation of this strategic plan, the High Monitoring Council will

additionally focus on widening strategic partnerships, increase networking and advocacy for

accelerated gender accountability in the country.

Programme units as well as the finance and administration unit under the coordination of the

Executive Secretariat will play a critical role in the implementation of this strategic plan from a

technical, administration and financial point of view. The anticipated research and documentation

unit will be advocated for in order to re-enforce the capacity of the institution to investigate gaps,

document progress and disseminate gender equality information to feed the national planning and

budgeting processes. A proposed structure on Annex 1 will facilitate the implementation of this

strategy.

4.2. Contribution of Partners and Stakeholders To further achieve the aspirations of this strategic plan, the role of partners and stakeholders at all

levels will be critical. At the forefront, the gender machinery will contribute to the implementation

process through technical support, partnership building, advocacy and mobilization of resources for

promotion of accountability to gender equality and fighting GBV.

Public institutions, private sector, civil society, faith based organizations, research institutions and

media will contribute to the effective implementation of GMO strategic plan by complying with

gender equality principles through mainstreaming gender equality and accountability across the

interventions and ensuring that progress are documented and shared in the framework of Gender information management system (GMIS) to be initiated.

Development partners on the other hand, will finance for gender equality by allocating equitable

financial resources to different programs across their areas of interventions, support to enhance staff

capacities, provide technical and financial support to reinforce institutional development.

4.3. Risk Analysis and Mitigation Strategies

commitments. It also sets mitigation strategies to reduce their impact.

CHAPTER 5: MONITORING AND EVALUATION ARRANGEMENTS

5.1. Monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan

Measuring progress and performance towards goals and targets of the strategic plan entails

keeping track of the milestones set, progress being made, identify challenges and setbacks to

inform new decisions and strategies to achieve the set objectives. To accomplish the above, the

following processes will be undertaken:

Monitoring of the implementation of Strategic plan: To ensure regularly follow of the implementation of the strategic plan, systematic monitoring will be carried out and monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports will be produced to inform appropriate planning decisions.

Annual Assessment: Each year a comprehensive assessment of achieved results and challenges observed while implementing the Strategic Plan will be conducted. This will provide GMO and its stakeholders an opportunity to assess progress against the results framework. This will be spearheaded by the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, made up of GMO management and consultative committee, Audit committee and key partners. This Steering Committee will also oversee the mid-term review and end-line evaluations and financial audits.

Mid-Term Review: Mid-term review will be conducted after two and half years of the implementation of the Strategy. This will bring together key partners at all levels to appraise progress in the implementation of this strategic plan. It will require revisiting where necessary or reach consensus on the measures to achieve the set targets in the strategy.

Final Evaluation of the Strategic Plan: After five years, GMO will organize a comprehensive external evaluation of the implementation of the Strategic Plan to determine the outcomes set against the specific objectives and overall goal. This will be the first step towards developing a third Strategic Plan.

Internal Auditing: The internal audit system will ensure sound management, control and governance processes are in place and operational to facilitate the implementation and full realization of this strategic plan.


34

CHAPTER 6: COSTING AND FINANCING OF THE PLAN

During the implementation of the previous strategic plan, the evidence has shown the government’s high commitment in financing for gender equality and fighting against GBV. Financing from government has been increasing overtime for Gender Monitoring Office to realise its mandate of ensuring accountability to gender equality and GBV service delivery. Additionally, development partners financially supported the implementation of the previous strategic plan. The following section presents processes that guided the costing of GMO 2017-2022 strategic plan.

6.1. Costing Methodology

The costing section presents estimated requirements in terms of resources needed to implement the Gender Monitoring strategic plan. It is activity based costing and presents a broad sense of direction in terms of financial requirements and a basis for the mobilization of additional funding over the next five years to fully address the implementation of the strategic plan objectives and priorities. However, the costs are indicative and may change due to any emerging issue or interventions that require adjustments.

6.2. Source of funding for GMO Strategic plan 2017-2022

This strategy will be financed through two main sources of funding, domestic resources as well as cost sharing with development partners.

Domestic Resources: The Government of Rwanda finances GMO through the medium term framework which is a budget planning tool. The National budget uses the Medium Terms Expenditure to make projections for the next two subsequent years. The Strategic Plan figures are based on real budget figures for FY 2017/2018 and midterm expenditures for the following years.

Development partner’s resources: GMO will set strategies to mobilize resources and engage potential development partners to boost program implementation and institutional development.

The private sector and CSOs: GMO will create an enabling platform with private sector and CSO dialogue whilst encouraging cost sharing on relevant joint planned interventions.

Tap in Special funding mechanisms for gender accountability and GBV service delivery.

Decentralized Entities: GMO will partner with districts in some intervention to ensure that they are implemented through district budget support. GMO role will be supporting districts to conduct self-evaluation and M&E for gender compliance. This will facilitate GMOs efficiency and joint realization of strategic plan.

6.3. GMO Strategic Plan Projected Expenditure Trend 2017/2018-2021/2022

The total cost of the Gender Monitoring Strategic is estimated at 7,714,192,798RwF. Strategic outcome four takes up the biggest portion of the budget 48.3% to ensure professionalism and institutional development. The key strategic actions are continuous fixed costs of paying GMO staff, develop resource mobilization and communication strategies, institutional capacity development, and mobilize resources for qualified technical staff secondments and review of GMO organizational structures among others.

Outcome one on institutionalizing gender accountability at all levels follows with a share of 22% of the entire estimated budget. The funds will be spent to ensure GMO continues to engage for the accountability and integration of gender equality principles into envisaged Rwanda’s Vision 2050 and accompanying policies, strategies, laws and guidelines. Furthermore, ensure systems of gender accountability are established, improved sustained and operationalized, increased accountability of gender responsiveness as well as accountability through reporting and monitoring of gender equality and GBV international commitments

Outcome two on equitable and effective service delivery aimed at addressing GBV and gender injustice takes up 20% of estimated budget. The funds will be used to monitor GBV service delivery ensuring effectiveness of justice rendered to GBV victims and child abuses is appropriate and meets the required standards, strengthening GBV prevention and response and mechanisms

Finally, outcomes three of Gender Monitoring Office upgraded into of hub of knowledge on gender equality and accountability takes up 18% and 7% of the entire estimated budget respectively.The table presents an analysis of projected available funding from government since there are no funding opportunities from development partners. The comparison between SP estimated budget and projected available funding from government, GMO Strategic plan financing deficit is at (50.3%) therefore, this is a shortfall that should be mobilized for GMO to realize the planned outcomes and outputs in the next five years.
