monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of gender principles and the fight against GBV in all sectors at all levels; the National Women’ s Council (NWC), also a Constitutional body, that provides a forum for empowering women and coordinating their effective participation in political, social and economic development, from the grassroots level. 75. NWC’s strategic positioning at all levels of decentralized governance is an opportunity to mobilize women to participate fully and provides them with a space to make their voices heard and entrench gender equality principles in planning processes at local level. The women’s councils play an important role in policy development and implementation by enabling women to put forward their views and solve their problems. The Rwandan Forum for Women Parliamentarians (FFRP) is a mechanism for women in parliament to use their strategic position as lawmakers to continuously lobby, advocate for and initiate gender-responsive laws and enhance gender equality principles within the institution of parliament, as well as improving gender-based Governmental oversight. 76. The National Commission for Children (NCC) was established in 2011 to promote children’s rights, ensure coordination, implementation, oversight and monitoring of the children protection system, as well as to provide Rwanda’s children the opportunity to develop into productive and responsible citizens. The Office of the Ombudsman and the National Human Rights Commission are other monitoring and accountability mechanisms that follow up the respect, promotion and protection of human rights, including women’s rights. 77. More to that, the other mechanism that Rwanda has adopted is the National Gender Cluster that brings together Government and all stakeholders including official development partners, the private sector representatives of women’s councils and CSOs so as to discuss the further implementation of the National Gender policy.
