Development of End FGM Network Africa Strategic Plan 2025-2030 and Advocacy Policy Consultancy
Nairobi, Nairobi
Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW)
Posted today
Job Viewed
Job Description
Background
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) remains one of the most entrenched forms of gender-based violence globally. It is a socio-cultural practice with no medical justification, cutting across ethnic and religious contexts.
Globally, according to research, more than 230 million women and girls live with the effects of FGM, while an estimated 3.6 million are at risk annually. In Africa, prevalence remains alarmingly high. Among women aged 15-49, FGM rates reach 98% in Somalia, 97% in Guinea, and 93% in Djibouti. Girls under 14 are also highly vulnerable, with prevalence at 56% in Gambia and 54% in Mauritania. Although some countries report declining rates, rapid population growth in practicing regions threatens to increase the overall number of affected women and girls by 2030.
Despite progress in legislation, advocacy, and awareness, FGM persists due to deeply rooted social norms, weak enforcement of protective laws, and limited resources for community-led initiatives. The practice not only violates the fundamental rights of women and girls but also undermines their health, dignity, and empowerment across generations.
The global urgency to address FGM is reinforced by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 5, Target 5.3.2), which aim to eliminate all harmful practices, including FGM, by 2030. Achieving this target is pivotal for advancing gender equality, safeguarding human rights, and ensuring that women and girls in Africa and beyond live free from violence and discrimination.
It is against this background that the End FGM/C Network was formed back in 2023.
About the End FGM Network Africa.
End FGM/C Network Africa (The African Network) is an African-led coalition launched on October 10, 2023, during the African Union's 2nd International Conference on FGM in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The Network aims to eliminate Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) across the continent. Conceived in 2022 through Orchid Project workshops, its mission is to amplify African voices in advocating for human rights protections for women and girls. Co-hosted by Covenant Foundation for Girls (Liberia) and ONG Éducation Universelle (Niger), with Orchid Project as interim secretariat and Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW) as the network’s treasurer, the Network unites diverse African organizations to coordinate grassroots advocacy, policy influence, and legislative reform efforts. Members have engaged in community sensitization, survivor support, and participation in regional platforms like the AU Gender Observatory and ACERWC meetings, strengthening partnerships and advancing child protection and gender equality initiatives.
Overview of the Amplify Change-funded project
Presently, the African Network is implementing a three-year grant with funding from Amplify Change, with a strategic priority of strengthening the Network’s governance structure, expanding membership, generating evidence on FGM, amplifying regional & global advocacy, and forging stronger partnerships. This funding will further improve the African Network’s capacity to champion African-led solutions, as the leading regional movement to end FGM/C. One of the activities under Organizational Strengthening (OS 1) is supporting the development of the Network’s Strategic Plan and the Network's Advocacy Policy.
The Consultancy Service
Purpose
The End FGM Africa Network seeks to engage a highly qualified and experienced consultant to lead the development of its Strategic Plan (2025–2030) and Advocacy Policy. The consultancy aims to produce two distinct but complementary documents, a Strategic Plan (SP) and an Advocacy Policy (AP), that will collectively define the Network’s vision, strategic direction, advocacy priorities, and operational framework for the next five years.
These documents will serve as the cornerstone of the Network’s coordination and accountability mechanisms, reinforcing its leadership in the continental movement to end Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). The consultant will facilitate a participatory and evidence-based process that reflects the diversity of voices within the movement — from survivors and grassroots activists to policymakers and regional partners.
Both documents are expected to articulate a clear vision, mission, strategic priorities, and actionable goals, while embedding sustainability, accountability, and measurable impact indicators. They will guide the Network’s partnerships, advocacy engagements, and institutional strengthening, ensuring long-term alignment with regional and global frameworks such as Agenda 2063, SDG 5, and the Maputo Protocol on Women’s Rights.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that the End FGM Africa Network emerges as a stronger, more resilient, and more influential voice for women’s and girls’ rights across Africa.
Specific Objectives of the Consultancy
The main objective of this consultancy is to design a forward-looking, inclusive, and actionable Strategic Plan and Advocacy Policy that will serve as a roadmap for the Network’s growth, influence, and sustainability. Specifically, the consultant will:

c. Collaborate with Key Stakeholders
Work closely with the Network’s leadership and secretariat while engaging civil society organizations, government representatives, survivors, traditional leaders, and advocacy champions to ensure inclusivity and representation in the process.
d. Embed Sustainability and Accountability
