2.2.Implementedactivities

Alltheabove-mentionedactivities,withtheexceptionofone,havebeencarriedout.

Oneofthetwoworkshopsscheduledinunit1,wascancelledasthegroupofexpertsconsideredthatthefinalisationoftheframework（objectiveofthesecondworkshop）couldbedonebye-mail.PermissionwasaskedfromtheCommissiontousethemoneybudgetedfortheworkshopinUnit1（Healthcareprofessionals）,forinvitingmoreparticipantstotheworkshopsfromUnit2（Communitylevel）,asthedemandtoattendtheUnit2workshopswasveryhighandthebudgetforinvitingparticipantslimited.Moreover,becausemostoftheworkshopparticipantsfromUnit2weremembersfromtheaffectedcommunities,anincreasednumberofparticipantswouldincreasethebenefitsforthesecommunities.TheECgrantedthetransferofthebudget.

Theactivity“evaluationofexistingNGOsandotherresourcepersons”hasslightlybeenchanged.ExistingNGOsandotherresourcepersonshavebeencontactedbymail,withtherequestofgivinganupdateoftheircontactdetailsandactivities.Thisupdateistheonlyevaluationthathasbeendone.Hence,weprefertospeakaboutanupdate,insteadofevaluation.AnextensiveevaluationofprojectsandprogrammesinEuropeishighlyrecommendedandwillneedsufficienttimeandfunds.

Participantsfrom10EuropeanMemberStatesattendedtheworkshops.Thesecountrieswere:

Austria,Belgium,Denmark,France,Germany,Italy,Spain,Sweden,theNetherlandsandUK.Furthermore,thepresidentoftheInter-AfricanCommitteeonHarmfulTraditionalPractices（liaisonofficeofGeneva）attendedtheworkshopsforcommunityworkers.Weplannedtohaveparticipantsfrom13MemberStates,butunfortunatelynorepresentativesfromNGOsandCBOsfromGreece,Ireland,Portugal,LuxemburgandFinlandattendedtheworkshops,eitherbecausetheproblemofFGMisnotemerginginthesecountries,or（toourcurrentknowledge）FGMhasnotbeentackledyet.FurthernetworkingisneededtoexpandtheactivitiestoallMemberStates.

TheinitialprojectproposalintendedtotranslateeducationalmaterialintoAfricanlanguages.However,asrecommendedinthereportoftheGothenburgworkshops,theeducationalmaterialusedinEuropeisoftenbeingcopiedwithoutapriorassessmentoftheimpactofthismaterial.Oncethiseducationalmaterialisevaluated,itcouldthenbetranslatedintothelanguagesofthemajorethnicAfricangroupslivinginEurope（e.g.Amharic,Somali）.Consequently,wedecidedtotranslatethemainconclusionsandresultsofthe4workshopsfromEnglishintoFrench,fordisseminationamongFrancophoneAfricancommunities.
