As part of the Women Deliver Global Dialogues and in alignment with the Women Deliver Conference to be held in July 2023, the Adolescent Girls Investment Plan (AGIP) will be hosting a report launch event to showcase key findings from the \u2018Investing in Adolescent Girls\u2019 research conducted by our research member Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE).<\/p>\n
It has been one year since AGIP launched its refreshed strategy whose focus is having girls on the agenda and at the table. In response to the new strategic objectives, we outlined our advocacy position as Shifting Power and Resources to Adolescent Girls and Youth-led Organisations. AGIP through its advocacy position is working to ensure that commitments and resources are channelled directly to adolescent girls and girl-led organisations by using evidence.<\/p>\n
By mapping investments into adolescent girls at the global and country-level (Bangladesh and Ethiopia) to produce a comprehensive snapshot of what investment there is and how funds are distributed, the \u2018Investing in Adolescent Girls\u2019 research came as a result of the need to fulfil our objective to influence global decision-making spaces and advocate for increased investment into adolescent girls.<\/p>\n
Through this event, we aim to start the conversation on how much funding has been recently allocated to adolescent girls, how funding can be increased to reach the most marginalised adolescent girls, as well as made accessible to adolescent girls\u2019 organizations and programming. The report launch will also pave way for AGIP\u2019s \u2018Resourcing Adolescent Girls: An Intergenerational Dialogue\u2019 concurrent event session during the Women Deliver Conference 2023.<\/p>\n
