The AGIP Secretariat, alongside many of our member organisations, will be at the Women Deliver 2026 conference, convening partners and amplifying girl-centred advocacy at a critical moment for gender equality.
AGIP will co-host two key sessions focused on strengthening accountability and safeguarding meaningful engagement for adolescent girls.
🎤 Strategy Session: Collective Action on Girl-Centred Accountability
📍 Girls Deliver Pre-Conference
🗓️ Sunday, 26 April 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
🎧 Interpretation: Available in French and Spanish via the Women Deliver app (please bring your own earphones)
As global actors convene and collaborate at WD2026, there is a critical opportunity to move beyond rhetorical commitment toward structural, measurable, and girl-centered accountability. Led by AGIP (Women Deliver, Plan International, GAGE and ICRW) in collaboration with Girl Rising and PMNCH, this strategy session will focus on identifying key girl-centred commitments and leveraging existing accountability mechanisms to drive tangible change for adolescent girls around the world when they need it most.
🛡️ Safeguarding Rights and Agency: Adolescent Engagement in Shrinking Civic Spaces
📍 Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Room 219
🗓️ Thursday, 30 April 2026
⏰ 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
Co-hosted with UNFPA and UNGEI, alongside AGIP members FRIDA, IPPF, Plan International and Restless Development, this session reimagines safeguarding as a shared political and ethical responsibility. The event will centre adolescent girls’ perspectives on safety in international development and feminist spaces, while advancing practical recommendations to strengthen safeguarding practices in response to the emerging risks due to increasing civic repression, technology-facilitated harms, and resourcing gaps.

Call to Action
The alarming decline in funding, growing political and social pushback, and the continued exclusion of girls from decision-making threaten decades of progress.
Now is the time for governments, donors, and global actors to double down on commitments, increase investment in adolescent girl-centred initiatives, and strengthen accountability for sustained impact.
