Engaging male youth with the Journey of Transformation (JoT), is a gender transformative approach that works with male youth to promote positive masculinity in the context of agriculture and which has been currently informed by the gendered value chain analysis. This approach engages young couples and youth through a gradual journey, with evolving content as changes begin to unfold.

Through participation in group educational activities, men are encouraged to reflect on rigid gender norms, examine their attitudes and beliefs, and question traditional ideas about household decision-making and division of labor, caring for children, and sharing household tasks. These activities also promote men’s acceptance of and support for their wives’ participation in the saving groups and for their economic empowerment and encourage men to see women in a different light and treat them with greater respect.

The manual is designed for trainers and group facilitators, who receive training in the use of the manual. Trainers who implement these activities have basic knowledge of gender concepts and male engagement approaches. The manual is a guide for trainers to work with men and their partners in economic empowerment programs for women.

Many of today’s successful women leaders have participated in a mentorship program that helped to empower them. These women are also often willing to mentor other women willing to become leaders as well. Mentoring gives women and girls the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and grow their network. It also gives an example of the possibilities that are out there for them.

Many years ago, PFTH has been implementing “Women Can Do It Program (WCDI)” which contributed in increasing the number of women participation in decision making structures and processes at all levels (central and decentralised levels) in Rwanda.

The current situation analysis report of Women Can do it Program in the last year (2019) confirmed that WCDI programme has contributed to an increased women representation in high elective and appointment positions, both at central and decentralised levels. The programme has also improved leadership skills, self-confidence and men’s perception on the role of women in leadership positions. Automatic word wrap

After selection, Mentors are trained on leadership mentorship guide and thereafter matched with their respective mentees.

As per the process, mentors facilitate their mentees to make capacity needs assessment and related leadership development plans which streamline the whole mentorship process that involves formal and informal sessions. This program holds monitoring and evaluation plan to facilitate its implementation.
