The problem
Intervention: ActionAid's multifaceted approach including advocacy, community mobilization, legal support, Women's Watch groups, legal education, and alternative livelihood programmes for traditional surgeons, with engagement of men, local leaders, and youth
Who it was tested with: Women and girls at risk of FGM in Kenya, particularly in ethnic groups where the practice was prevalent, along with men, local leaders, youth, and traditional surgeons.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The study highlights ActionAid's multifaceted approach, including advocacy, community mobilization, and legal support, as well as the provision of direct services to women and girls at risk of FGM" and "Through these efforts, ActionAid has made significant strides in reducing the practice and shifting cultural perceptions surrounding FGM." This is a case study with practitioner-reported outcomes rather than a rigorous evaluation design with baseline-endline comparison or control groups.
The case study lacks quantitative outcome data, does not appear to have a comparison group, provides no specific numbers on FGM reduction, and does not measure outcomes systematically across intervention phases. The study's claims about effectiveness are not supported by specific metrics or rigorous evaluation.
