Participatory Research Toolkit for Social Norms Measurement

Resource date: Dec 2020

Publisher: UNFPA, UNICEF

Despite significant global investment and efforts to create a more equitable and safer world for children, some challenges such as female genital mutilation are so deeply rooted in the long-standing beliefs and social norms of communities that they continue to persist.

This toolkit is a practical ‘how to’ document for researchers, programme planners, programme implementers and evaluation experts, and is intended to enhance their social-norms-related programme efforts.
