This handbook was co-created by AGIP Cohort 1 Girl Advisors Darshana, Jaliyah, Luisa, Misati, Nhi, Paola, Rushna, Vanessa, and Ximena, together with AGIP’s Youth Engagement and Advocacy Specialist, Pooja.

It captures key celebrations, lessons, and insights from AGIP’s first Adolescent Girls Advisory Committee (AGAC), with the hope of inspiring more organisations to embed girl-centered decision-making at the heart of their work. It calls on all allies for girls’ rights to champion intergenerational leadership by creating meaningful spaces—such as Advisory Bodies—where girls can actively shape the policies, programs, and interventions that impact their lives.

We hope reading this handbook brings you as much insight and inspiration as we found in creating it together.

This Handbook is available in English, Spanish, and French.
