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 jointly implements the Joint Programme “Accelerating Progress towards Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment” (JP RWEE) together with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP). The JP RWEE is a global initiative with an overarching goal to secure rural women’s livelihoods, rights and resilience in the context of sustainable development. Specifically, the programme has 4 integrated goals; it seeks to Improve food security and nutrition; Increase income to sustain livelihoods; enhance women’s participation in decision-making; and enable a more gender-responsive policy environment for the economic empowerment of rural women. The first phase of this programme was jointly implemented from 2014 to 2021 by the FAO, IFAD, UN Women and WFP in Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Nepal, Niger and Rwanda. The programme reached almost 80 000 direct beneficiaries and over 400 000 indirect beneficiaries during the first phase of implementation. The programme has recently begun implementation of a Phase 2 in Nepal, Niger, the Pacific Islands, Tanzania, and Tunisia from 2022-2027, with support of Norway and Sweden through the United Nations Multi-Partner Trust Fund. The programme seeks to further scale up this proven holistic programme model to new locations and has secured funding for expansion to Rwanda through a direct grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The implementation of the JP RWEE in Rwanda is overseen by a National Steering Committee, consisting of senior government officials and representatives of the four participating UN agencies and government representatives. Implementation of the programme is monitored and supported by a Technical Working Group, consisting of technical focal points of each of the four agencies.
