6.2 Burkina Faso
To cope with the magnitude and consequences of FGM, the state and some partners have taken steps since independence to abolish female circumcision; thus, the government took steps in 1960 to prohibit the practice but was faced with fierce resistance from traditional authorities. Several other actions were taken despite the reluctance of the population to strengthen the fight. These actions resulted in the establishment on 18 May 1990 of the National Committee to Combat Practice of Excision (CNLPE) by Presidential Decree No. AN VII-318/FP/ SANAS/SEAS, with branches in different provinces of the time. In 1992 a first course of action was adopted for the period 1993–1997. On the basis of this document, in 1994 the first-round table of donors was organized on the issue to encourage commitment to supporting the process.1
