About

The Department for International Development awarded a contract to Options Consultancy and Population Council for supporting the Africa-led movement to end female genital mutilation (FGM).

The programme, valued at £46,500,000, aims to build on DFID's first phase of investment (2013-2019) and contribute to global efforts to end FGM by 2030 in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.

The scope includes building the capacity of the Africa-led movement at multiple levels, delivering targeted community-level interventions, establishing a small-grants mechanism for grassroots women's and youth-led organisations, testing best practice guidance for integrating FGM interventions into development programmes, strategic use of media and campaigns, enhanced global advocacy, and real-time monitoring and evaluation.

Additionally, it involves getting laws, policies, and systems to work effectively to end FGM, directly via UNICEF/UNFPA and WHO, by helping to implement laws and policies and supporting key sectors and government ministries.
