In March 2017, the Association Malienne pour le suivi et l’orientation des pratiques traditionnelles néfastes (AMSOPT) launched the initiative “Information and Sensitization against the Practices of FGM/C and Child Marriage in 30 Villages in Kayes Region”, supported by funds from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The final evaluation found that the project contributed to a public commitment to abandon FGM/C and child marriage in 26 villages, and that the dialogue established between youths and adults on FGM/C and child marriage allowed an open and frank discussion on sensitive issue in the target communities.

From December 2013 to November 2016, the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women funded the project “WAYE – Women and Youth Empowered by Access to Information to Protect their Rights and Improving Service Delivery to Protect their Health”, which was implemented by Medical Services Pacific. The final evaluation found that the project efficiently achieved its objectives.
