Earlier today, the Deputy Chief Gender Monitor, Florien H. Rurihose, officiated the opening of the Gender Management Information System (GMIS) Testing Workshop in Bugesera District.
Organized by the Gender Monitoring Office (GMO) in collaboration with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), the three-day workshop brings together district statisticians and technical experts to test and validate the Gender Management Information System (GMIS) ahead of its rollout.
The workshop aims to enhance the system's technical and operational performance while strengthening participants' capacity to generate, manage, and utilize gender-responsive data for evidence-based planning, policymaking, and decision-making.
In his remarks, the Deputy Chief Gender Monitor emphasized that quality gender data is fundamental to advancing gender equality, strengthening accountability, and enabling institutions to develop inclusive policies and deliver responsive public services that leave no one behind.
By strengthening gender data systems, GMO and IPA are contributing to evidence-based governance and accelerating Rwanda's journey toward inclusive and sustainable development.
