This document presents promising practices on the integration of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) in the Creating Off-farm Rwandan Enterprises (CORE) Project that was implemented in Rwanda from 2015 through 2021. Funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) in partnership with World Vision, the Project was designed to respond to the challenges of limited access to market information and financial services for women and youth. The overall goal of the CORE Project was to significantly increase household off-farm income for women and youth in the districts of Rusizi and Nyamasheke. The project primarily targeted women and youth with interventions designed to address market failures and improve business competitiveness. Key interventions included capacity development targeting youths and women to equip them with vocational skills, strengthening of women and youth cooperatives. The CORE Project also improved access to finance by establishing, supporting, training, and empowering savings and loans groups and working with banks to provide loans to target groups.
