#FrontlineEndingFGM is the world's fastest and most cost-effective alliance fighting against FGM locally.
OUR TRACK RECORD
what we do
in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Tchad, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Somalia
For decades, donor governments and philanthropists have been trying to fund frontline women’s organisations directly. Although research shows that they works smarter and faster to change their communities’ norms, only 2 percent of global gender funding reaches them directly.
This is why the Global Media Campaign, Wallace Global Fund and UNFPA have spent 10 years building a nimble, cheap and secure Localisation Service, delivering funds to the #FrontlineEndingFGM directly, and without interruption. So far, this mechanism has been used by the European Union, the World Bank, the US State Department, Danida, UN Women, Unicef and private foundations.”
