  • Rwanda Women's Network Location
    1 RWANDA WOMEN’S NETWORK1 ASSERTING WOMEN’S LAND RIGHTS Name: Rwanda Women’s Network Location: Eastern Rwanda Year of foundation: 1997 Contact: Annette Mukiga E-Mail: [email protected] 1 Prepared by Justine Mirembe, in collaboration with Peninah Abatoni, Mary Balikungeri, Elisabetta Cangelosi, Annette Mukiga, Sabine Pallas, Viviana Sacco and the group of women and paralegals of the Polyclinic of Hope in Bugesera. 2 The Context Rwanda Women’s Network (RWN) is a national non-governmental organization working in Rwanda since 1997 when it took over from its parent organization-Church World Service. RWN was established with the mission of promoting and improving the socio-economic welfare of women in Rwanda. Its main administrative offices are located in Gasabo district “village of Hope” - Kigali City but RWN has also established 4 spaces/centers (Polyclinics of Hope) for women in the districts of Gatsibo, Nyarugenge and Bugesera. RWN began with a program of promoting women’s rights to land, housing and inheritance specifically targeting victims of rape and other violent crimes largely perpetuated during the 1994 genocide against Tutsi, as well as vulnerable homeless women returnees after the war. The current population of Rwanda stands at more than 11 million people, over 80% of whom depend on agriculture. With a surface area of 26.338 square kilometer for 11 million people, Rwanda’s population density stands at more than 416 inhabitants per square kilometer (Rwanda Demographic profile, 2013), making it a densely populated country. Gender wise, women constitute more than 53% of the adult population and 50% of these are widows.

  • World Bank Document
    SFG1006 REV Rwanda Great Lakes Emergency Sexual and Gender Based Violence and Women’s Health Project Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental and Social Management Approach, including Environmental Management Plan and Medical Waste Management Plan Executive Summary and Conclusions The Environmental and Social Management Approach (ESMA) provides general policies, guidelines, codes of practice and procedures to mainstream environmental and social (E&S) due diligence during the implementation of the World Bank supported Great Lakes Emergency Sexual and Gender Based Violence and Women’s Health Project. The objective of the abbreviated ESMA is to help ensure that activities will be in compliance with the national legislations of Rwanda and the World Bank’s E&S safeguards policies. Public Disclosure Authorized The document is the main due diligence instrument required by the World Bank as financer, and additionally covers and goes beyond the Rwandan national regulatory requirements for project- level environmental assessment and management. The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) will be the main resource for environmental management and monitoring for the Client and set the standards and practices that will guide environmental and social project performance. It will become part of the tender package and environmental management and compliance will constitute a subsection of line items in the bill of quantities (BoQ). The selected bidders will be required to accept E&S conditions and tasks upon contract signature, and the implementation of the ESMP will be an integral part of the construction contracts. The monitoring of E&S performance will, much as other quality criteria, be tied to contractual penalties and damage restoration requirements via appropriate contractual clauses.

ABSTRACT Background: Hepatitis B virus belongs to the family Hepadnaviridae. It is the commonest cause of chronic viral hepatitis. It is responsible for up to 80% of primary liver cancers. Despite the existence of a safe and effective vaccine, HBV infections still remain a global public health problem. Pregnant women who are carriers of the virus pose a significant risk to their unborn babies.
