Joint Evaluation of the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C): Accelerating Change - Ongoing
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the extent to which the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme has accelerated the abandonment of FGM/C in programme countries over the last four years (2008-2011). The evaluation provides an opportunity to ensure accountability to donors and other stakeholders, and is also a useful learning exercise. The evaluation will measure the achievements of the holistic and multi-sectoral approach to accelerate FGM/C abandonment. Furthermore, the evaluation will provide recommendations for the future direction of the FGM/C policies and programmes. Finally, it will give UNFPA and UNICEF insights into the successes and challenges in conducting joint programming.

The evaluation will assess the relevance, efficiency, sustainability and the effectiveness of the holistic approach adopted by UNFPA and UNICEF in their programme for the acceleration of the abandonment of FGM/C. The evaluation will also assess the quality of the coordination mechanisms that have been established at the global level and within countries to maximize the effectiveness of United Nations interventions.
The ongoing evaluation is conducted jointly by UNFPA and UNICEF. The joint evaluation management group is the main decision-making body for the evaluation and has the overall management oversight of the evaluation process.
