About the webinar
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’, maps the latest published data on donor official development assistance (ODA) flows, examines critical funding gaps, trends, and donor priorities as mapped onto Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) domains, while identifying actionable pathways to ensure robust investments in adolescent girls’ well-being and development.
As we approach 2025, marking the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (Beijing+30) – a landmark agreement for women’s rights – and the 2030 deadline for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the development and gender equality sector faces unprecedented political and funding shifts. In this context, this research comes at a crucial time. The event will underscore the urgent need for targeted, inclusive, and sustainable funding mechanisms to drive transformative change for adolescent girls globally, as well as highlight the need for disaggregated data collection efforts and strategic advocacy campaigns to elevate the visibility of adolescent girls.
Objectives
- To launch the GAGE-AGIP research findings on donor funding trends for adolescent girls, connecting it to the current global moment 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.
