Why invest in the Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation?
Ending female genital mutilation by 2030 is within reach, but only with urgent and sustained investment. Achieving this goal requires an estimated $2.1 billion, yet the cost of protecting one girl is just $95 — a small investment with a lifelong impact. This support can help scale up proven interventions, strengthen community-led movements, and drive policy change that protects millions of girls.
This document is a summarized version of the Phase IV Programme Document (2022-2030) for the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation: Delivering the Global Promise. It outlines the vision, goal, principles, and strategies to end FGM by 2030. The document includes achievements from previous phases, rationale for Phase IV, global data trends, strategic priorities, theory of change, geographical coverage, resource requirements, and a detailed results framework.
