Co-development

A co-development strategy implies immigrants should play a key role as actors and vectors of development, in both the society of origin and in the host society, leading to a win-to-win process.

By supporting migrants’ associations in Europe, we create links with the countries of origin in order to promote projects on a small scale that tackle harmful practices against women.

Main Activities:

  • Involvement of Embassies and Consulates of countries practicing FGM to support and promote co-development workshops among citizens.

  • Implementation of a cycle of workshops focused on co-development and on its application in the prevention of FGM in the various communities.
