Results in governance, education, health, economic empowerment and the environment are currently being monitored, and Tostan is particularly proud to have played an important role in the large-scale empowerment of women and girls and in community abandonment of harmful practices such as female genital mutilation and child marriage.

The organization is developing new implementation strategies to support community leadership by unlocking broader systemic changes at the regional level.
