Transforming Masculinities: Midline Ethnography Report

Between May and September 2017, Georgetown University’s Institute for Reproductive Health (IRH) conducted a midline, ethnographic assessment of the Masculinité, Famille, et Foi (MFF) intervention being implemented in eight congregations in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). MFF is seeking to reduce gender-based and intimate partner violence (GBV/IPV) and improve modern family planning (FP) use by working through faith communities.  Findings are being used to refine the intervention, help interpret evaluation results, adjust and plan for scale-up, and contribute to the body of knowledge on community-based social norms transformation interventions.
