Exploring adolescent girls바카라 사이트 and boys바카라 사이트 capabilities and the role of adolescent empowerment programming in Rwanda
This brief summarises mixed methods research about adolescent girls and boys in rural and urban communities across all 5 provinces
Abstract
Rwanda is a small landlocked country that borders Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The most densely populated country in Africa, about one-quarter of its citizens are adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19, and 40% live below the poverty line. Over the last two decades the country has seen high economic growth and a significant decline in poverty and extreme poverty. Rwanda is also an international leader in women바카라 사이트s access to voice and agency, boasting the world바카라 사이트s highest rate of women바카라 사이트s parliamentary representation at the national level. However, research evidence suggests that adolescent girls바카라 사이트 access to decision-making at household and community levels is still significantly limited by conservative social norms. To contribute to the limited evidence base on young people바카라 사이트s gendered well-being in Rwanda, this policy brief summarises formative mixed methods research about adolescent girls and boys in both rural and urban communities across all five provinces in late 2019. The participants in the quantitative sample were 10 years old, while the qualitative sample included 10바카라 사이트12-year-old participants and older 12+ Programme graduates who are now 15바카라 사이트17 years old.
