Facilitation, management and monitoring of interventions
On behalf of the state and other agencies seeking to positively intervene in ritual male initiation, Ikamva aims to play that role in specific local areas. This may include facilitating the involvement of specialists (e.g. medical specialists, nurses, traditional surgeons, etc) in making specific, targeted interventions. This implies removing a layer of bureaucracy between the practitioners and the state or other intervening agencies. Ikamva develops monitoring and evaluation strategies for ensuring that work commissioned by the state and other agencies is done satisfactorily. Some of the work that Ikamva does to facilitate external interventions within ritual male initiation processes includes training of traditional surgeons and traditional nurses.
