Their actual goal is to function as a propaganda arm of the pro-circ agenda in Africa and to function as a marketing tool for the mass circumcision campaign. The research on their site is [[Bias| heavily biased]] in favor of [[circumcision]]. Their funder, FHI360, is a "social marketing" outfit, essentially a PR firm established for the purpose of changing people's behavior for ostensibly socially positive ends. According to their website, FHI "serves as the webmaster for the Clearinghouse on Male Circumcision for [[HIV ]] Prevention, and in partnership with [[WHO]], [[UNAIDS]] and AVAC, develops and selects content for the site."
