Abstract

This detailed mapping paper provides context on women’s economic empowerment (WEE) in Rwanda and assesses existing gaps in research, with specific focus on three priority themes: unpaid care work (UCW), gender segregation in labour markets, and women’s collective action. Women continue to lag behind in terms of employment opportunities and have low involvement in entrepreneurship, business development, and cooperatives due to unpaid care work, and lack of specific skills and capacities. The impacts on WEE domains are limited by the small and scattered nature of most programs and projects. The paper identifies a number of policy entry points.
