Gender Seal Programme Success Stories
January 24, 2025
The Gender Seal Programme Success Stories document highlights remarkable journeys of Rwandan institutions that have embraced gender equality as a driver for organizational excellence, employee well-being, and sustainable development. Through real-life examples from the private sector, government institutions, and media, the stories showcase how the Gender Equality Seal, championed by UNDP in partnership with the Gender Monitoring Office, Private Sector Federation has transformed workplace cultures and fostered inclusive practices.
From MTN Rwanda's rise in female tech leadership to Wolfram Mining integrating women into traditionally male-dominated roles, and BRD, Ecobank, and I&M Bank reforming internal policies to support working parents, each story illustrates tangible progress. Companies like SUPA, CIMERWA, and Ese Urwibutso reveal how simple yet intentional changes, such as training, maternity rooms, gender-neutral communication, and leadership programs, can significantly improve morale, productivity, and profitability.
These success stories not only demonstrate how gender equality enhances business performance and institutional credibility but also serve as a call to action for others to join the movement.
