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. ​
