The AGIP Secretariat provides critical programme 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 are your first point of contact for all AGIP enquiries.
Olivia Burns
Programme Manager
All my work is rooted in a belief that we can make real positive change through combining our global efforts and passing the mic to those who are most impacted. I am motivated by gender equality and meaningful engagement with young people, especially girls, to co-create a more equitable present and a more sustainable future.
My background in media, communications and culture has allowed me to follow my fascination with the power of words to shift the status quo. I’m excited to put this passion towards achieving AGIP’s advocacy ambitions, alongside a brilliant intergenerational team.
Asha Mukanda
Communications and Membership Officer
I believe that as a communicator and storyteller, my role is to amplify voices that too often go unheard especially those of girls standing at the heart of change in their communities.
My work is driven by the belief that when we tell stories rooted in truth, courage, and possibility, we create space for transformation in policies, in communities, and in mindsets.
At the Adolescent Girl Investment Plan (AGIP), I channel this passion into building meaningful engagement with our members and driving campaigns that elevate girls’ leadership.
