Adolescent girls must be at the heart of policies and decisions that shape their lives. To drive meaningful change, they need the skills, resources, and platforms to amplify their voices, hold governments accountable, and influence decision-making processes.
This research, in partnership with ICRW Asia, presents an Accountability Framework co-developed with adolescent girls from India, Nepal, Cambodia, Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, and Mexico. It explores:
✔️ The mechanisms girls are using to hold systems accountable to their commitments.
✔️ The challenges and opportunities they face in engaging with decision-makers.
✔️ A model accountability platform designed by adolescent girls, adaptable across different countries.
✔️ Key recommendations to strengthen system accountability to adolescent girls’ needs.
This report is a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and organizations seeking to centre adolescent girls in governance and decision-making. It highlights the power of adolescent-led accountability and provides a roadmap for ensuring their voices shape policies that affect them.
