WHO ARE WE

Grow Green Initiative (GGI) is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) established in Rwanda in 2019 to improve livelihood of people while ensuring sustainable environmental management.

CROSS CUTTING ISSUES

We ensure  that women and men, girls and boys have equal conditions, treatment, and opportunities for realizing their full potential, human rights, and dignity, and for contributing to (and benefiting from) economic, social, cultural, and political development. We understand that gender equality is, therefore, the equal valuing by society of the similarities and the differences between men and women, and the roles they play. It is aims on women and men being equal partners in their homes, community, and society. Gender equality does not mean that men and women have the same physical structure; rather they have equal opportunities and rights. It neither means that women are independent from men nor Rwandans lost their culture and replaced it with the Western one. Moreover, it does neither mean that men were removed from the position at the benefit of women nor the Rwandan culture was completely lost.

GGI understand gender equality as a process of being fair to men and women, boys, and girls. It refers to a differential treatment that is fair and positively addresses a bias or disadvantage that is due to gender roles or norms or differences between the sexes.

refers to how family members support each other within their household, everyone playing his/her role depending on their ability, financial and economic capacity. Every family member giving his/her contribution for the sustainability of the family.

the development planning process that is based on analysis and integration of various situations and needs of women and men aimed at creating conditions for the development of gender equality and complementarity.

a process which aims at sensitizing all organizations to recognize gender and restore delays in gender development programmes

We support for physical access to financial institutions, eligibility, update and usage of financial products and services including informal needs to accelerate and meet women and men consumers’ aspirations.

We combat against inequalities between women and men in terms of their role in all activities, opportunities, and rights in general.

The process of ensuring that planning and programming is appropriate for and considers the different needs and concerns of females and males. It focuses on gender sensitiveness, responsiveness, and accountability towards national transformation.
