Yet, in LMICs, 25-30% of the population is made up of youth and adolescents. These funding gaps showcase the need for direct investments into girls. AGIP and partners thus call on all donors and decision-makers to shift resources to adolescent girls and young feminist-led initiatives. This intergenerational dialogue, hosted by adolescent girls, brings together adolescent girls, young feminist-led organisations, donors, researchers, and intermediary CSOs to identify challenges, showcase innovative solutions, and workshop what needs to shift to make funding more accessible for adolescent girls and young feminist-led initiatives.
