Invitation for Production of Documentary Film on

TGG-ALM FGM Programme Journey in Ethiopia

1. 1. Background

ActionAid Ethiopia is a gender justice, good governance and poverty eradication organization working to achieve gender equality and poverty eradication.  In Ethiopia, AAE works to challenge various forms of power and build capacities to create people agencies of a critical mass of communities especially women and girls living in poverty and exclusion to fulfill their rights, ensure redistribution of resources, and build their resilience. We prioritize working with women and girls and their organizations, networks of civil society organizations, national and local government, and other allies to overcome gender injustice and structural causes of poverty, we engage in national-level policy works to influence the agendas of women and girls to tackle gender injustice.

A program has been established entitled ‘Support to the Africa-led movement (ALM) to end FGM/C’ to contribute to global efforts to achieve that vision. Building on the foundations of the first five-year investment (2013-2018) of the Department for International Development (FCDO), this program focuses on accelerating the pace of change and achieving results to contribute to the vision in the SDGs of a world free of FGM/C by 2030. More specifically, this program supports and builds the capacity of the ALM to end FGM/C at multiple levels and at scale. As part of the wider consortium, ActionAid is delivering a package of community implementation interventions, to engage community members, girls, women, men, and other stakeholders to shift attitudes and behaviors towards the practice of FGM/C.

The project has been implemented in Amhara Regional State South Gondar zone of Guna Begemidir and Farta woredas since 2022. As a general objective the project is envisioned to see a world where girls can exercise their power and rights, have expanded choice and agency, and are free from violence, including FGM/C.

As we close the TGG-ALM project in early 2026, ActionAid Ethiopia aims to document the lessons learned, achievements, and overall impact of the program in Ethiopia.

1. 2. Objective

Overall objective of the documentary aims to showcase the achievements, lessons learned, and overall impact of the TGG-ALM project in Ethiopia, while serving as a tool for advocacy and knowledge-sharing to support efforts to end FGM.
