The AGIP Secretariat provides critical project leadership and management, such as driving strategy implementation; governance processes; member development; and financial sustainability. The Secretariat coordinates AGIP’s diverse stakeholder groups, engagements, and events to ensure adolescent girls, members, the Board, partners, and donors are enabled and empowered to advance AGIP’s overall mission and ambition. The Secretariat contributes with technical advice – specifically in the areas of Meaningful Girl and Youth Engagement (MGYE) and safeguarding – and facilitates, shares, and promotes AGIP’s best-practice in appropriate external spaces. We are happy to serve as your first point of contact for all AGIP enquiries.
