This material outlines the efforts and achievements of the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in 2022, emphasizing the theme of “reimagining resilience” amid a global polycrisis. It highlights the program’s focus on promoting girls’ agency, building social movements, and leveraging partnerships with women-led organizations to end FGM by 2030. Despite challenges, the program reported significant progress in 17 countries, including declines in FGM prevalence in Egypt, Kenya, and Mauritania. Key achievements include engaging over 1.2 million people in public declarations against FGM, training law enforcement, and reaching millions through media campaigns. The document also stresses the importance of integrating FGM prevention in humanitarian responses and calls for increased and diversified funding to sustain and expand these efforts.
