Introduction This report considers alternative exchange rate arrangements for EAC countries in the transition to a monetary union. Four main considerations shape our analysis.1 First, while existing exchange rate policies differ in some important ways across the EAC, the Partner States have expressed a desire to achieve a common exchange rate policy during the transition to union. Second, since the transition period is of uncertain duration, the exchange rate arrangements adopted during the transition should be consistent with macroeconomic stability and financial development on a country-by-country basis. Third, the exchange rates at which national currencies are converted to the new union-wide currency should be consistent with macroeconomic stability, both in the final run-up to union and in the first few years of union.

  • Abortion Incidence and Postabortion Care in Rwanda
    Case Study REPRINT Abortion Incidence and Postabortion Care in Rwanda Paulin Basinga, Ann M. Moore, Susheela D. Singh, Elizabeth E. Carlin, Francine Birungi, and Fidele Ngabo Abortion is illegal in Rwanda except when necessary to protect a woman’s physical health or to save her life. Many women in Rwanda obtain unsafe abortions, and some experience health complications as a result. To estimate the incidence of induced abortion, we conducted a national sample survey of health facilities that provide postabortion care and a purposive sample survey of key informants knowledgeable about abortion conditions. We found that more than 16,700 women received care for complications resulting from induced abortion in Rwanda in 2009, or 7 per 1,000 women aged 15–44. Approximately 40 percent of abortions are estimated to lead to complications requiring treatment, but about a third of those who experienced a complication did not obtain treatment. Nationally, the estimated induced abortion rate is 25 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44, or approximately 60,000 abortions annually. An urgent need exists in Rwanda to address unmet need for contraception, to strengthen family planning services, to broaden access to legal abortion, and to improve postabortion care. (STUDIES IN FAMILY PLANNING 2012; 43[1]: 11–20). Only three years remain to reach the Millennium Devel- (Pearson and Shoo 2005). Abortion’s major contribution opment Goal targets. In Rwanda, as in most developing to maternal morbidity cases that reach health centers countries, the rate of decrease in maternal mortality is strongly suggests that abortion is an important women’s much slower than that needed to achieve the fifth Millen- health concern in Rwanda and that additional empirical nium Development Goal—a 75 percent reduction in the research on this topic is warranted.

  • Uvuza, J. 14.Pdf
    Abstract The number of women participating in Rwandan politics has significantly grown since the second half of 1994 (after the civil war and Tutsi genocide). Gradually, especially in parliament where women now compose 63.8%, this has attracted the attention of scholars and the international community. While Rwandan government and the international writers document Rwanda’s relative progress on increasing and promoting women’s participation in politics, the majority of academic work to date has investigated women’s representative role and in most cases explored women in the legislature. Little or no academic work has focused on female politicians’ experiences of balancing their traditional female responsibilities and the public (male-stream) roles they are now taking on. Using semi-structured one-to-one interviews with female politicians in the cabinet, lower and upper chambers of parliament, local government and from women’s major groups (umbrella and networks), this dissertation examines the women’s narratives of their lived experiences of balancing their private and public roles, and what impact this has had on their lives and career paths. This thesis argues that despite the relevance of women’s access to political posts/work, failure to tackle gender inequalities in all areas of socialisation reshape and reinforce patriarchy in significant ways – especially due to increased time and work penalty that appear not only detrimental to women’s lives but also to the country’s social-economic development. Change in these circumstances seems to require a cultural shift, almost as large as the cultural shift that brought women into politics. This thesis also argues that women’s substantive representative role is better understood if the social-political contexts within which they live and work are considered.

  • Universal Primary Education Program and Educational Outcomes in Rwanda
    Master Degree Project in Economics Universal Primary Education Program and Educational Outcomes in Rwanda Alexandre Nshunguyinka Supervisor: Nadine Ketel Master Degree Project No. 2016:163 Graduate School Universal Primary Education Program and Educational Outcomes in Rwanda Author: Alexandre Nshunguyinka Supervisor: Nadine Ketel, PhD In fulfillment of MSc in Economics, 2016 19th September, 2016 Abstract To evaluate the impact of the” Universal Primary Education” (UPE) policy on primary schooling outcomes in Rwanda, which was adopted in 2003 and consists of free school fees to enroll in primary education, I merge two cross-sectional surveys, being EICV 2000/01 and EICV 2005/06 collected before and after the onset of the UPE respectively. The identification strategy uses linear probability model for completion and attendance in primary education with age and region fixed effect and also with a combination of the use of interaction terms regression. Also given that advanced age at school entry which has been historically associated with early primary school dropout, I check whether the enactment of the UPE leads to delayed enrollment in primary school in Rwanda. I find that UPE has increased overall attendance and especially for the poor children. In contrast, the completion in primary school decreases in the post-UPE but I find no evidence of the UPE effect on poor children to complete primary education. I also find that UPE program has increased late enrolment in primary education and which might be the reason behind the negative effect of the UPE on completion in primary school. In conclusion, I argue that UPE is prone to be a good policy but needs some complementary policies such as free lunch program, subsidizing uniforms to retain children in primary school until they finish.

  • Engendering the Peace Process in Africa 2009 Report of Activities
    Engendering the Peace Process in Africa 2009 Report of Activities 1 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD 2009 has been a challenging year for the women’s movement, this has been linked to the global crisis impact in our economies, and this also impacted on the women’s peace movement. I am grateful to all Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS) partners, Networks and friends who have responded and contributed towards profiling women’s voices through mobilizing them in order to move the agenda of women in the Horn of Africa, Great Lakes and Mano River Union region. In the Great Lakes Region, National Action Plan (NAP) on UN SCR 1325 have been developed in consultation with women groups. In Rwanda as an example, more than 50% of women are represented in parliament. In Liberia, FAS with the leadership of H.E Ellen Sirleaf Johnson participated in mobilizing women for the colloquium that took place in Liberia. This event served as an opportunity for other countries to have their NAP developed and launched. All achievements in 2009 were made possible with support of partners, some of the key achievements include; Having women agenda based on human security formulated, response and creation of women conflict resolution mechanism, Ensure protection of women is realized through observance of the human rights instruments, women are mobilized to continue to participate in different events at the national, regional and international level, responding to the needs of women and IDPs by profiling their voices. At the Regional level, Gender is My Agenda Campaign (GIMAC) members have constantly reviewed, monitored and evaluated the implementation of the African Union Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality in Africa (SDGEA), UNSCR 1325 and the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights in Africa and have produced and shared shadow reports.

  • Development and Gorillas? Assessing Fifteen Years of Integrated Conservation and Development in South-Western Uganda
    Development Development AND gorillas? Assessing fifteen years of integrated conservation and development in south-western Uganda Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla and National Park are globally important biodiversity areas due to their populations of highly endangered Mountain Gorillas. But that means gorillas? little to some people living beside them. After the Parks were created in 1991, conflict and resistance from the surrounding communities seriously threatened the ability of the protected area authority to manage the parks. In response, a range of “integrated conservation and development” (ICD) strategies have been applied in and around Bwindi and Mgahinga supported by the government and a number of national and international NGOs. ICD is a strategy used in many countries for linking the conservation of biodiversity with local economic development. It rests on the assumptions that a) linking local people to a resource, and helping generate a steady stream of benefits from its management, increases their willingness to manage and protect that resource over the long term; and, b) the provision of alternative sources of livelihood will reduce dependence on resources within a protected area. This report tests those assumptions, and compares strategies through which development interventions have achieved conservation effect. The report concludes that many of the ICD interventions have achieved successes, in large part due to the practical link that the beneficiaries have been able to make between conservation and development, but often in different ways to that which was originally envisaged. But it is also clear that greater positive impacts for poorer households are needed if both conservation and development outcomes are to be maximised.

  • PDF “Healing Rwanda's Genocide Trauma”
    RESEARCH ASSOCIATION for R AA I SS INTERDISCIPLINARY JUNE 2020 STUDIES DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3909885 “Healing Rwanda’s Genocide Trauma”: A Re-construction of Painful Oral Historical Narratives Radoli Lydia Ouma Daystar University, Kenya, [email protected] ABSTRACT: April to June every year, Rwandans commemorate the 1994 genocide. Extensive oral historical narratives are brought to life. Under the Aegis Trust for the prevention of genocide and crimes against humanity, stories are re-enacted and shared. Narratives of memories are seen as instruments to heal historical trauma. Rwanda has since moved from ravages of the genocide to political and economic stability. Although, Rwanda records a history of ethnic killings and near genocide from 1950s, it is the 1994 genocide that rocked its fabric of peace. Des Forges (2007) argues the genocide was not an outburst of uncontrolled rage of ethnic hatred, but a discontent to historical grievances and widening economic disparities between the Hutu elites and Rwandan poor. To suppress dissent, state and militia extremists planned and orchestrated the genocide. After the genocide, an International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was set up to try suspects. It was supplemented with Gacaca courts - a modified traditional conflict resolution system. In this paper, I aim to analyse oral history as a qualitative methodology. The narratives archived on video recount how Rwandans heal the genocide trauma through remembering. According to Moyer (1993) oral history involves a systematic gathering of testimonies of people who have experienced a significant event. It is not based on non-factual information, rather on verifiable facts that can be analyzed and placed in accurate historical contexts.
