This manual was developed within the framework of the project “Innovative tools for the abandonment of the practice of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM)” co-financed by the European Union and implemented in partnership with RAINBO. It is meant to be used by skilled trainers for training of government officials and directors and program officers of NGOs, in order to make them understand correctly the facts, root causes and socio-cultural dimensions of the practice, be knowledgeable about the most innovative and successful interventions and be able, with the technical assistance of local specialised NGOs and institutions, to design programs/projects which also address FGM/C, thus giving a strong contribution in reaching the necessary critical mass for its abandonment.
