Read More An established body of evidence suggests that gender transformative programming must be holistic and address the intersecting barriers that adolescent girls face. Nonetheless, a vast gap remains: the SRH and economic empowerment sectors rarely collaborate, and programs are rarely integrated. This session will bridge this gap by bringing together these two disparate fields. No question is off the table as a dynamic panel will debate, share and inspire, equipping participants with practical tools and tips on how to deliver effective programs that integrate economic empowerment and SRH and ultimately, deliver for adolescent girls. Come prepared to participate, share and learn.
