Economically Mobilizing Women and Girls Through the ISARO Project
This evaluation helps understand the successes, challenges, and impact that the ISARO Project has had in Rwanda. Particularly through the context of the continent wide program WEP and POWER, ISARO has been using these models to help build a more sustainable and economically sound future for poor Rwandans in rural areas, particularly women and girls.
The project has aimed to challenge some of the underlying causes of poverty facing women such as poor political participation and the social and cultural factors that create and perpetuate harmful practices and gender inequality. Whilst the government in Rwanda prioritizes women´s representation, gaps remain at community level, to ensure that women are able to competently handle political leadership, and participate effectively in political processes.
