Integration

Integration

Our Integration workstream addresses FGM by embedding prevention and response strategies into key development programs, such as health and education, to promote sustainable and effective change. This approach counters the limitations of treating FGM as a standalone issue by integrating it into broader frameworks that enhance the social, economic welfare and wellbeing of girls and women. The overall goal of integration is to ensure the next generation of medical/health professionals are knowledgeable, skilled and empowered towards acceleration of positive change in social attitudes towards ending FGM including its medicalization in TGG-ALM target countries of Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal and Somaliland.
