Mid-Term Evaluation for Anti-FGM Project among the Maasai of the Southern Rift Region of Kenya
The purpose of this project is to mobilize local churches in the Southern region of Kenya to advocate for the rights of Maasai girls and women with a view to stop the practice of FGM and subsequent early and forced marriages. The Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya has for many years implemented various mission and church development programs as well as social and humanitarian projects in partnership with the Pentecostal Foreign Mission in Norway (PYM). The project targets the districts of Kajiado, Narok, and Transmara in Southern Rift Valley region of Kenya. It is estimated that the population of the Maasai in this region is more than 500,000 people. The region is vast and is endowed with natural game habitats which are home to the world famous Maasai Mara and Amboseli game parks. The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the impact of the Anti-FGM project among the Maasai girls and communities in the Southern Rift Region of Kenya since its inception to 2014 and recommend the way forward with regard to the sustainability of the project beyond the project period of 2006 to 2016.
