The Board has brought together community-based organizations from all the 22 hot spot counties to galvanize their efforts and enhance coordination among grass root and frontline actors implementing Anti- FGM interventions. This has also improved on reporting and rescue of girls at risk of FGM.

Grassroot organizations are better placed to understand the dynamics and challenges of FGM at community levels. These Conferences were exchange forums, where organizations shared experiences, challenges, lessons and developed a common understanding.
