About

CYBERRWANDA: IS AN INTERACTIVE DIGITAL APPLICATION THAT USES STORYTELLING TO SEAMLESSLY BLEND EMPLOYMENT SKILLS AND SEXUAL RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (SRHR) WITH ON-DEMAND PRODUCTS FOR RWANDAN YOUTH. AS RATES OF INTERNET USAGE RISE DRAMATICALLY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE AGES 12-19 IN URBAN AND PERI-URBAN SETTINGS, THE CYBERRWANDA WEB APPLICATION AND CORRESPONDING DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES WERE CREATED USING HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN PRINCIPLES TO CREATE A FUN, INTERACTIVE, AND INSPIRATIONAL DIRECT TO CONSUMER (DTC) PRODUCT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. PROJECT HISTORY: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RWANDAN YOUTH, YLABS CREATED CYBERRWANDA TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THREE MAIN CHALLENGES; YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT, A LACK OF ACCURATE SRHR INFORMATION, AND THAT LACK OF SRHR SERVICES DESIGNED FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS OF RWANDA (NISR), THE YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN RWANDA IS 21 PERCENT. THE LACK OF FORMAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES PUT GIRLS AT A DISPROPORTIONAL RISK, AND 10 PERCENT OF GIRLS IN RWANDA HAVE REPORTED RECEIVING MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR SEX. SINCE SRHR EDUCATION IS RARELY COMPREHENSIVE, ADOLESCENTS OFTEN TURN TO THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR INFORMATION, MUCH OF WHICH IS INACCURATE, PRESCRIPTIVE, OR LACED IN HARMFUL GENDER NORMS. EVEN THOUGH RWANDAN LAW ALLOWS YOUTH ACCESS TO SRHR CARE, CONTRACEPTIVE USE AMONG ADOLESCENTS REMAINS HIGHLY STIGMATIZED. CULTURAL NORMS, PROVIDER BIAS, OR A LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT A NEED FOR SRHR CARE MAKES FINDING YOUTH-FRIENDLY SERVICES DIFFICULT FOR UNMARRIED YOUNG PEOPLE.TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, CYBERRWANDA WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE DAVID AND LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION AND USAID. THE SOCIETY OF FAMILY PLANNING IN RWANDA IS OUR IMPLEMENTING PARTNER, AND YTH SERVED AS A DESIGN PARTNER DURING INITIAL DESIGN RESEARCH AND IDEATION. WE ARE NOW THRILLED TO WORKING WITH EVALUATION PARTNERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF RWANDA.
