BACKGROUND

Forum Against Harmful Practices (FAHP) is a coalition of 15 national NGOs and CSOs established in 2014 to advocate for the reduction of harmful practices including FGM/C. FAHP established its Secretariat in 2014 (a room in the office of one of the NGOs comprising one member of staff, a laptop and a desktop). So far FAHP activities include media trainings for journalists and district consultations to generate support for the approval of the national strategy. In May 2017, FAHP conducted a series of workshops for Parliamentarians, the Inter-Religious Council of Sierra Leone, the Council of Paramount Chiefs of Sierra Leone, selected Ministry Departments and Agencies on the rationale and methodology for the development of the Strategy. To further build consensus and strengthen support for the approval of the National Strategy, FAHP engaged key stakeholders including Parliamentarians, members of the Inter Religious Council, Council of Paramount Chiefs, and senior policy makers within Ministry Department and Agencies (MDAs) through a series of workshops in November and December 2018

With funding from Irish Aid, FAHP will further its work at the national level to strengthen itself as an Organisation with strong systems in place, advocate for the approval of the national FGM Reduction Strategy and create community level awareness to effect change. FAHP is looking for a strong and passionate candidate to lead this process and to make FAHP a better and sustainable Organisation.
