About

The Department for International Development awarded a contract to The Population Council for a research programme aimed at ending Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Africa and beyond.

The programme's objective was to produce a global evidence base on the most effective and cost-effective approaches to ending FGM/C in different contexts, to inform future policy and programming.

The research was to be rigorous and operationally relevant, accessible to decision-makers influencing strategic investment, policy, and programming at national and international levels.

This was achieved through a North-South research consortium working together to generate a clear and coherent body of primary evidence on FGM/C, capacity building, and research uptake/communication.

The contract value was AUD 7,915,066.
