Background: UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Rwanda has made remarkable progress in achieving gender equality and women's empowerment over the years. With 63.75 women in Parliament, it ranks first with regards to women political participation. Remaining challenges especially on persistent negative social norms and stereotypes notwithstanding, Rwanda continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. This is demonstrated through the ratification of key international and regional frameworks, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and the UN Resolution 1325 on Women Peace and Security. These commitments are reflected in national frameworks such as the Vision 2050, the National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), the National Gender Policy, the National Strategy on MenEngaged and more. The UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2025--2029) organized around the three pillars of the NST2, namely Economic, Social and Governance Transformation - remains a relevant partnership framework bringing the UN System to work with government, other partners and stakeholders in addressing the country's development priorities.

Its strategic focus on knowledge generation, thought leadership and south-south cooperation, with a lean inclination towards catalytic programming to create prototypes for uptake by the government and other partners is perfectly in line with the UNSDCF.
