A 90-minute hybrid webinar hosted by GAGE and AGIP, featuring expert presentations, civil society insights, and interactive discussions.
Background
The Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) program, in partnership with the Adolescent Girls Investment Plan (AGIP), presents its latest research on global funding supporting adolescent girls. The third in the AGIP-GAGE series ‘Investing in Adolescent Girls’, this study maps latest published data on donor official development assistance (ODA) flows, examines critical funding gaps, trends, and donor priorities as mapped onto SDG domains, while identifying actionable pathways to ensure robust investments in adolescent girls’ well-being and development. With Beiling+30 approaching and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) nearing their 2030 deadline, this timely research underscores the urgent need for targeted, inclusive, and sustainable funding mechanisms to drive transformative change for adolescent girls globally, as well as highlighting the need for disaggregated data collection efforts and strategic advocacy campaigns to elevate visibility of adolescent girls. OBJECTIVES To launch the GAGE-AGIP research findings on donor funding trends for adolescent girls, connecting it to key global moments and AGIP’s Accountability Champions Platform. To foster critical reflection and dialogue among stakeholders on how to advance investments in adolescent girls and hold governments accountable to their funding commitments. To highlight the lived experiences of civil society and youth advocates and the impact of funding adolescent girls.
