Author(s): Berg Rigmor C.,and Eva Denison
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: To provide evidence on effectiveness of efforts to abandon FGM/C
Study Population: Intervention evaluations from Africa
Findings: Findings indicate that 19 of 49 outcomes (with baseline similarity) were significantly different at study level,mostly favoring the intervention,but results from four meta-analyses showed considerable heterogeneity. The limited effectiveness and weak overall quality of the evidence from the studies appear related to methodological limitations of the studies and shortcomings in the implementation of the interventions. Nevertheless,the findings point to possible advantageous developments from the interventions
