The Girl-Centered Accountability Charter, launched at the Summit of the Future Action Days 2024, is the keystone of AGIP’s Global Accountability Champions Platform. The Charter outlines 8 actions for governments to model and promote accountability with and for adolescent girls in global advocacy and policy platforms.

Governments which sign the Charter become ‘Accountability Champions’ and make a public pledge to be accountable to their girl-centred commitments, lead by example, and influence other powerholders to practice accountability.

Young people, UN bodies and girl-centered organisations can also support the initiative by endorsing the Charter and show solidarity with adolescent girls globally.

I am Misati, an adolescent girl from Kenya associated with the Northern Women Empowerment Initiative (NOWEI) Kenya. Thanks to the support of AMPLIFY Girls and the Adolescent Girls Investment Plan (AGIP), I had the incredible opportunity to participate in events at the fringes of the United Nations General Assembly and related meetings held in New York from 15 – 23 September 2023.

In today’s world, we are confronted with numerous crises, issues, and conflicts.

Amid all these challenges, adolescent girls and young women, who have often been marginalized throughout their lives, continue to silently endure without the hope of change; in fact, their situations seem to be deteriorating.
