UNDP Rwanda; Workers' Wellbeing at the Heart of The Organization

UNDP Rwanda is a diverse place of work that hosts a rough estimate of Sixty (60) staff at its head office in the heart of Rwanda's capital, Kigali. Despite its busy location, the office's compound is defined by a beautiful serenity, with fresh air facilitated by the yard's green vegetation.
The green compound sometimes acts as a meeting ground for the employees, while the other time, it is an effective venue for events. The staff also take advantage of the green, calm, and freshly manicured compound to facilitate them as their 'dining area' for interactive lunch sessions.
The objective of the course is to equip participants with required knowledge and skills to minimize Sexual and Gender Based Violence in Peace Keeping missions.
