Evidence snapshot for Rwanda
Rwanda has implemented several evidence-based reforms to strengthen gender equality, land security, and digital inclusion. Land titling in women's names increased investment in soil and water conservation among female-headed households by roughly 19 percentage points, while constitutional gender quotas raised women's parliamentary representation to 63.8% by 2024—the world's highest. A gender-transformative couples' programme reduced intimate-partner violence (from 57% to 33% for physical violence) and increased men's unpaid care work by roughly one hour daily, and digital skills training via 1,000 peer ambassadors raised public e-service adoption from 30% to 73%. Together, these practices demonstrate Rwanda's focus on institutional reform and community-level behaviour change to advance gender equity and digital service access, though the evidence does not quantify broader economic or social outcomes across the country.
