Survivors of the genocide in Rwanda continue to face innumerable challenges today, including: • Trauma relating to the impact of the genocide, and continued sense of insecurity • Health problems resulting from the genocide, in particular the effects of old age • Poverty particularly resulting from property destroyed and land taken in the genocide • Shelter and lack of appropriate affordable, safe housing resulting from the genocide • Justice for survivors, particularly resulting from the lack of support to enforce their rights • Youth unemployment which is acute among survivors and second-generation survivors The work of Survivors Fund (SURF) addresses these challenges, through supporting genocide survivors, and related vulnerable persons, in Rwanda. We work with three principal partners: AVEGA Agahozo – National Association of Widows of the Genocide AERG – National Student’s Association of Genocide Survivors GAERG - National Survivor’s Association of Graduate Students This Strategic Plan is informed by these partners, and the survivors that they represent. It sets out a demanding but exciting agenda of support to our partners. It will deliver greater impact for those we are seeking to help. By balancing our programmes, advocacy work and capacity building with our fundraising, monitoring and evaluation we will increase our reach and build greater support for our work. The Strategic Plan will be continuously monitored to inform the future direction and development of Survivors Fund (SURF). Our key themes and targets for 2021 – 2023 will be: Direct support to rebuild lives • Secure sustainable livelihoods for survivors and related vulnerable persons through a focus on income generating activities, entrepreneurship and employment • Improve the well-being of survivors and related vulnerable groups through a focus on mental health provision, memorialisation and physical health education • Reduce the vulnerability of survivors and related vulnerable persons through a focus on decent housing, food security and elderly care Advocacy and Capacity Building to sustain support • Improve the enforcement of rights and legal representation of survivors and related vulnerable persons in Rwanda • Enable sustainability of survivor organisations in Rwanda over the long term SURF Strategic Plan 2021 – 2023 (14th December 2020) 3 | P a g e 1.

  • Brief: Rwanda – DRC Cross Border Dynamics, April 2019
    Social Science in Humanitarian Action www.socialscienceinaction.org Brief: Rwanda – DRC cross border dynamics, April 2019 This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the context of the outbreak of Ebola in North Kivu and Ituri provinces. It is the second in a series of four briefs focusing on the at risk border areas between DRC and the four high priority neighbouring countries (including Uganda, South Sudan and Burundi).1 As of April 2019, there had been no case of Ebola imported from the DRC into Rwanda, although alerts had been triggered on the roads leading from North Kivu towards neighbouring Rwanda and at least one high-risk contact was described as being a Rwandan national. Cross-border movement has been identified as a significant risk to transmission. This brief provides details about cross-border relations, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and specific areas and actors most at risk. The brief is based on a rapid review of existing published and grey literature, previous ethnographic research in Rwanda and DRC, and informal discussions with colleagues from the Rwanda Ministry of Health, UNHCR, UNICEF, WHO, DFID, IOM, USAID, CDC and others. The brief was developed by Hugh Lamarque (The University of Edinburgh’s Social and Political Science Department - Centre for African Studies) with support from Ingrid Gercama, Emelie Yonally and Juliet Bedford (Anthrologica). Additional review and inputs were provided by Patricia Stys (London School of Economics), Jean-Benoît Falisse (University of Edinburgh), Benjamin Chemouni (University of Cambridge), David Peyton (Northwestern University), Papy Muzuri (London School of Economics) and colleagues from DFID (Rwanda Country Office) and UNICEF (Rwanda Country Office and East and Southern Africa Regional Office).

  • RWANDA BIBLIO 2019 Pages
    François Lagarde R W A N D A 2 0 1 9 B I B L I O G R A P H I E The University of Texas at Austin 5 janvier 2020 Présentation Sur le modèle des précédentes, cette bibliographie recense les publications portant en tout ou en partie (conséquente), sur le Rwanda qui ont paru pendant l’année 2019. Elle est organisée par sujets ou disciplines: Histoire, Population, Agriculture, Environnement, Economie, Politique, Droit, Société, Arts et Lettres, Santé Publique. Un dernier chapitre recense les travaux de recherche universitaire (PhD et Masters), tous sujets confondus, et les book reviews. Les publications sont scientifiques, universitaires, para-universitaires, officielles (gouvernementales, non-gouvernementales, institutionnelles) ou littéraires mais pas journalistiques, faute de place. Les publications des éditions EUE, LAP et Scholars’ Press sont classées à part (10.5); ce sont pour la plupart des travaux de licence ou de maîtrise, rarement de doctorat. A priori, et sauf pour quelques livres et chapitres de livres qu’il faut se procurer sur papier, pratiquement toutes les entrées citées ici sont accessibles, avec ou sans paywall, sur Internet. Une bibliographie s’efforce d’être complète mais ne pourra jamais l’être tout à fait, à l’heure des digital databases. Les publications en kinyarwanda ou dans des langues autres que le français et l’anglais nous échappent en grande partie. Il reste que la masse des publications est écrite en anglais. On aura négligé d’insérer tel rapport d’institution ou d’ONG ou telles pages de ce qu’on appelait “la littérature grise” et qui aujourd’hui abondent sur Internet.

  • Recommendations for Ongoing Social Impact Reporting
    Recommendations for Ongoing Social Impact Reporting CHRISTINA HARRIS & HALEY HARADA THE ISSUE Rural women’s poverty in Africa is a significant issue. In Rwanda, more than half of the population lives on less than $1.25 a day. THE CONTEXT • Rwanda has been on the climb under the leadership of President Paul Kagame in the recent years. After the genocide, Kagame worked towards creating an environment of opportunity for social entrepreneurs, especially women. • In Africa, women support around 5.7 dependents, therefore leaving them with the potential to impact large communities. • In most places around the world, women are an untapped economic resource. THE COMPANY SOCIAL IMPACT All Across Africa (AAA) is a B-corp that facilitates female potential and works to ASSESMENT alleviate poverty by employing 3,200 local artisans in Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and Burundi. As artisans, who want or need employment, women weave decorative baskets and other home goods for more reliable incomes. As a result, AAA creates a transformative difference for her lifestyle, her family, and the community’s wellbeing. Unlike other socially oriented businesses, AAA actively transforms livelihoods through a continuous flow of income and employment opportunity, instead of one-time transactions. The success of All Across Africa is measured not by a single product or service delivered, but by how the lives of the artisans improve over time. Tracking the degree of this profound change in multiple aspects of artisan lives will ultimately allow AAA to develop yearly impact reports and better serve its beneficiaries. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 4 Executive Summary 5 Objective 6 Research 7 Survey Administration Methods 9 The Survey (with annotations) • Personal Information • Education • Income • Savings • Healthcare • Housing • Nutrition • Social (Empowerment) 34 Recommended Medium 39 Appendix 1 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Objective The objective was to design and test a survey to measure and track AAA’s social impact on an ongoing basis.

  • 'There Are No Other Options?': Rwandan Gender Norms and Family Planning in Historical Perspective
    Med. Hist. (2020), vol. 64(2), pp. 219–239. c The Author(s), 2020. Published by Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/mdh.2020.4 ‘There Are No Other Options?’: Rwandan Gender Norms and Family Planning in Historical Perspective ERIN JESSEE* 409 2 University Gardens, History, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QH, Scotland Abstract: This article surveys the evolution of Rwandan family planning practices from the nation’s mythico-historical origins to the present. Rwanda is typically regarded as a patriarchal society in which Rwandan women have, throughout history, endured limited rights and opportunities. However, oral traditions narrated by twentieth-century Rwandan historians, storytellers and related experts, and interpreted by the scholars and missionaries who lived in Rwanda during the nation’s colonial period, suggest that gender norms in Rwanda were more complicated. Shifting practices related to family planning – particularly access to contraception, abortion, vasectomies and related strategies – are but one arena in which this becomes evident, suggesting that women’s roles within their families and communities could be more diverse than the historiography’s narrow focus on women as wives and mothers currently allows. Drawing upon a range of colonial-era oral traditions and interviews conducted with Rwandans since 2007, I argue that Rwandan women – while under significant social pressure to become wives and mothers throughout the nation’s past – did find ways to exert agency within and beyond these roles. I further maintain that understanding historical approaches to family planning in Rwanda is essential for informing present-day policy debates in Rwanda aimed at promoting gender equality, and in particular for ensuring women’s rights and access to adequate healthcare are being upheld.

    IPIHD Case Study #101 One Family Health Rwanda: Achievements and Challenges 2012 2 IPIHD Case Study #101 ©2013 IPIHD. All rights reserved worldwide. Liz Charles, Jeffrey Moe, and Richard Bartlett Published by the International Partnership for Innovative Healthcare Delivery Durham, NC (USA) Cover image courtesy Duke Global Health Institute, www.globalhealth.duke.edu. One Family Health Rwanda: Achievements and Challenges 2012 3 Executive Summary One Family Health (OFH) operates a franchise network of health posts in urban, peri-urban, and rural Rwanda. The health posts operate as entry-level clinics in the formal public healthcare sector and provide care for common conditions such as malaria and diarrhea. The result is an increase in access to basic healthcare and a concomitant reduction in cases referred to the comprehensive community health centers, increasing their capacity to treat more acute cases. The vision is to establish 500 posts by 2018 supported through a partnership between OFH and the Rwandan Ministry of Health, with GlaxoSmithKline providing loan financing to OFH to establish and manage the OFH network and Ecobank providing loan financing to the franchisees. Each post is run by an experienced nurse given access to financing and training in business, post operations, and clinical skills. The franchise approach allows the nurse operator to earn a living operating a small business while increasing access to essential medicines and basic healthcare for underserved communities. After a short grace period, the posts begin paying back the loans and operating on a self-sustaining basis. The physical structures for the health posts are provided by the local communities.
