A Father’s Place: An assessment of male engagement in integrated early childhood development in Rwanda

This assessment documents factors, attitudes and behaviours inhibiting male engagement in early childhood development (ECD) in Rwanda. It aims to study both rural and urban settings and to formulate recommendations for future integrated ECD programming. The research took place in November and December 2020 across 8 districts in Rwanda. A key finding was that certain cultural commonalities are evident as a result of prevailing gender norms, attitudes and behaviours in Rwanda.
