Historically, the public transportation industry in many African cities has been overwhelmingly male-dominated, but as women are increasingly seeking employment and venturing into industry, they are faced with myriad challenges and their participation remains particularly low. This study was aimed at evaluating progress made by social enterprises in Kigali, Rwanda to facilitate training and employment of women in the public transport industry and specifically the e-mobility sector. It entails review of secondary information sources and primary data through surveys and key informant interviews with selected organizations working in East Africa to establish the broad issues affecting gender mainstreaming in public transport work in the region. Findings show that gender-inclusive programmes encounter several challenges that hinder success including a lack of precise criteria for the selection of driving trainees, inadequate capacity of partner driving schools to deliver quality training, limited transitions to work and employment, gender based harassment, coordination challenges among different partners and long distance to training venues making it difficult for trainees to promptly access them. The results of this study will be used to make recommendations to improve gender mainstreaming specifically in the e-mobility sector and pave the way for informed program implementation and evaluation by partner organizations and policy makers in Rwanda.
