The Clearinghouse on Male Circumcision exists to expand global circumcision programs.[1] It is supported by a grant to the World Health Organization (WHO) from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[2]

Partners that have initiated this effort are the WHO, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC), and Family Health International (FHI).[1] The website for the Clearinghouse on Male Circumcision is run by Family Health International.

Criticism

The VMMC Experience Project has published a massive, illustrated 153-page report on VMMC in Africa for the United Nations.[3]
