Event title: Beyond commitments: Championing a new Girl-Centered Accountability Charter

Organizing Partners: AMPLIFY Girls, Government of Canada, Government of Sierra Leone, UNICEF

Schedule: 21st September, 15:00-16:30 EST, 90 minutes

Venue:  Blue Gallery, New York City

Background: Despite growing interest in adolescent girls’ leadership, global advocacy andpolicy spaces often lack formal accountability mechanisms that meaningfully include adolescent girls in delivering and tracking progress on commitments made towards gender equality and girls’ rights. Furthermore, many financial pledges made to advance girls’ rights fail to directly benefit them. Key global advocacy and policy spaces, such as the Summit of the Future and Beijing+30, offer opportunities for renewed multi-stakeholder commitments that will significantly impact the lives and futures of adolescent girls. Hence, advocating for their meaningful inclusion beyond making commitments is crucial to accelerate the progress towards a more equitable global future.

Event overview: Aligned with the actions and commitments outlined in the Pact for the Future, particularly those related to youth participation, gender equality, and the transformation of global governance, this event will spotlight the need for girls’ inclusion in delivering the global commitments on girls’ rights and launch a Girl-Centered Accountability Charter to drive progress following the Summit.

Key Highlights:

  • Adolescent girl intervention on the critical need for girl-centered accountability.
  • Insights presentation from ongoing research on girl-led accountability.
  • Launch of the Girl-Centered Accountability Charter along with the first group of member state Champions committed to practicing and promoting girl-centered accountability through AGIP’s Accountability Initiative.

Participants invited: Member states, Adolescent girls and youth, UN bodies, Girl-centered CSOs

Purpose:

  • Girls’ aspirations, priorities, and recommendations inform the implementation of the Summit’s commitments.
  • Increased political momentum and accountability on advancing girls’ rights in the follow-up to the Summit of the Future and towards Beijing+30.
  • Governments express willingness to become active allies with and for adolescent girls in global policy spaces and within their own countries’ leadership to advance the adolescent girl agenda.
