A/HRC/19/56/Add.1
inform the redesign of programme initiatives in order to improve effectiveness.
Additionally, the Government should undertake a national public education campaign
to combat stigma against the Batwa in consultation with and involving the Batwa
themselves.
103. There is a lack of detailed information available regarding the overall situation
of Batwa, their population, the location of distinct communities and their socioeconomic position. To fully understand their problems and respond appropriately, it
is necessary for the Government to undertake further research of both a quantitative
and qualitative nature. The plan (part of the National Social Protection Strategy) to
tabulate socio-economic data by ethnicity should be implemented urgently and the
results made widely accessible.
104. The Government should act on the analysis and recommendations contained in
the Senate’s Report on the Living Conditions of Some Rwandans Disadvantaged
Throughout History and other relevant Government and civil society reports.
