In 1998-1999 a village empowerment programme was implemented in the Thies / Fatick and Kolda regions of Senegal by the non-governmental organization Tostan. This report is the qualitative component of an evaluation conducted at the request of UNICEF to assess the impact of this programme several years after its implementation. The overall responsibility of the evaluation was given to Macro International. The Human Development Research Centre (CRDH) implemented the quantitative component and the Population Council implemented the qualitative component with funding from USAID through its Frontiers in Reproductive Health program. In 1998 the Tostan program was organised around the following modules: problem solving; basic hygiene; oral rehydration therapy (ORT) and vaccination; resource and financial management; leadership; feasibility studies (income-generating / micro-credit projects); women s health (sexuality pregnancy management); child development; democracy; and sustainable management of natural resources. The ultimate goal of the programme was to mobilise communities to hold public declarations in support of abandoning harmful traditional practices including FGM/C and child marriage. The objectives of this evaluation were to assess the: Overall impact of the program implemented by Tostan on the daily life of women and men in several communities in Senegal; Post declaration phase of the program in order to evaluate whether it is associated with actual abandonment of FGM/C and to estimate the magnitude and pace of abandonment; Abandonment of child marriage as it is associated with FGM/C.
