Who We Are
Our Vision
A world where girls and women can exercise their power and rights, have expanded choice and agency, and be free from all forms of violence, including FGM/C.
Intended Impact
The intended impact of this programme is an accelerated reduction in the practice of FGM/C in our focus countries/regions by the end of 2025.
Girl-centered programming
Girls are placed at the heart of our programme design, implementation, and evaluation. FGM/C is a practice that affects girls and therefore we aim to centralize their voices
About the consortia
The Girl Generation -Support to the Africa Led Movement to End FGM/C Programme (TGG-ALM), is implemented by a consortium led by Options Consultancy Services and includes Amref Health Africa, ActionAid, Orchid Project, Africa Coordination Centre for Abandonment of FGM/C, and the University of Portsmouth. It works closely with the Population Council’s Data Hub, the programme’s data and measurement arm. The programme will continue to support and build the capacity of the already existing Africa-led Movement to end FGM/C at multiple levels and at scale. The programme is not working in isolation but works in partnership with the rest of the FGM/C community at all levels, including UN agencies.
Our Partners
Do No Harm
Do No Harm is an ethical principle underpinning research, health, and social programming. It means that those undertaking research and/or interventions should not, intentionally or otherwise, cause harm.
There are risks that social change interventions, such as efforts aimed at ending the practice of FGM/C, can inadvertently create societal divisions, particularly in contexts of conflict and fragility.
Negative effects are often unforeseen and unintended, however with proactive risk mapping and planning, many can be avoided or mitigated.
