This study evaluated the impact of the INDASHYIKIRWA project on addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in Musanze District, Rwanda, using a mixed-methods approach. The research explored various dimensions of GBV, including sexual harassment, communication patterns, social isolation, financial empowerment, and perceived control, as targeted by the project. Statistical analysis revealed consistent positive changes among beneficiaries, with a mean awareness score of 3.00 (SD = 0.00) and unanimous 100% strong agreement across multiple domains. However, variations in responses within the control group, especially among female participants, signaled the necessity for further investigation to understand nuanced effectiveness.
Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) established significant correlations between community-based interventions and GBV prevalence in Musanze District. Independent variables such as awareness of educational programs and participation in community dialogues emerged as influential factors, with Pillai's Trace statistics indicating substantial effects (Awareness: 0.106, p < 0.001; Participation: 0.220, p < 0.001). This underscored the potency of these interventions in bolstering awareness, engagement, and attitudes toward GBV prevention.
Hypothesis testing through MANCOVA provided compelling evidence supporting the relationship between community-based interventions and GBV prevalence, affirming the pivotal role of such interventions in mitigating GBV and fostering safer environments. The study highlights the importance of holistic interventions and community engagement strategies in combating GBV and promoting gender equality in Musanze District and beyond.

This study explores the intricate relationship between plastic recycling and environmental management in the context of Miduha Market and surrounding sectors in Rwanda. Through a mixed-methods approach, including judgmental sampling and key informant interviews, participants' perspectives on waste management, pollution control, and economic viability were investigated.
The research revealed a positive community attitude towards plastic recycling, with 85.8% expressing support for effective waste reduction strategies. Job creation benefits associated with recycling were recognized by 78.8%, indicating a correlation between community engagement and positive economic impacts.
Analysis demonstrated a correlation between effective waste reduction strategies, job creation benefits, and positive economic impact. Approximately 35.3% agreed or strongly agreed that these strategies contribute to job creation benefits from recycling.
Community engagement in plastic recycling positively correlated with overall environmental quality. Pillai's Trace values for Accessible Recycling Facilities and Adequate Recyclable Collection Points were 16.319 and 40.859, respectively, signifying significant positive relationships.
Hypothesis testing supported a significant relationship between community awareness, participation in plastic recycling, and the overall effectiveness of waste management, rejecting the null hypothesis (H0) and affirming the interconnectedness between community engagement and effective waste management.
In conclusion, this study provides critical insights into the dynamics of plastic recycling, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions based on community dynamics. It contributes valuable information to environmental management and suggests implications for promoting sustainable practices in similar contexts.
Keywords: Plastic recycling, environmental management, judgmental sampling, key informants, Likert scales, validity, reliability, Rwanda.
