New Resource: Training material to support the elimination of FGM
ALT Advisory is proud to have been part of the team supporting the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), with the development of training materials for a new programming approach to address FGM in humanitarian contexts. The Nexus Approach aims to address a historical gap in understandings of how humanitarian crises can impact FGM prevalence, and is designed to ensure strong cooperation between humanitarian, development, and peace-building efforts in these contexts.
The ALT team prepared a range of materials in support of these efforts:
- The Facilitator’s Guide assists facilitators conducting workshops on implementing the Nexus approach.
- The Participant’s Workbook gives an overview of the Nexus workshop and presents examples for the adoption of the Nexus approach.
- An Interactive Slide Deck was developed to further help facilitators conduct workshops.
- An Illustrative Casestudies document demonstrates practical ways in which country offices have implemented the Nexus approach for FGM programmes.
These materials aim to equip development actors and community partners with the tools and information they need to organise training, strengthen capacity building, and help develop programmes to address humanitarian challenges focusing on FGM.
We had the pleasure of helping to deliver trainings on the Nexus Approach in workshops in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Guinea, and Somalia.
- The ALT team supporting this project included Tina Power, Wendy Trott, and Dercio Tsandzana, in partnership with OQ Consulting.
