Providing evidence to inform the design, implementation, adaptation, and scaling of effective strategies to address FGM

Africa-Led Movement to End Female Genital Mutilation

The FGM Data Hub—the data and measurement arm of the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) flagship program, “Support to the Africa-Led Movement (ALM) to End Female Genital Mutilation” – provides robust data, timely analyses, practical monitoring tools, and responsive technical assistance to inform programs to prevent and respond to FGM.

The FGM Data Hub provides program implementers with evidence to inform the design, implementation, adaptation, and scaling of effective strategies to end FGM. Through a coordinated series of activities, the Hub delivers:

  • New data analyses to inform efforts to end FGM
  • Improved and robust tools and approaches for measuring incidence and prevalence of FGM as well as changes in norms and attitudes relating to FGM
  • Guidance on good practice to enable the design and monitoring of FGM programs
  • Stronger collaborations to enable development and use of durable and innovative measures
  • Enhanced capacity of implementing partners and other stakeholders to use improved measurements
