About
THE COALITION FOR ADOLESCENT GIRLS
The Coalition for Adolescent Girls is committed to creating lasting change for communities in the developing world by driving investments to adolescent girls. When girls are educated, healthy and financially literate, they will play a key role in ending generations of poverty.
Founded by the United Nations Foundation and the Nike Foundation in 2005, the Coalition has been joined by more than 30 leading international organizations, including its founding members, International Center for Research on Women, the Population Council and the International Women’s Health Coalition.
This public-private partnership brings fresh perspectives, diverse resources and concrete solutions to the challenges facing adolescent girls in developing countries.
Our goal is to unleash the untapped potential of the developing world’s 600 million adolescent girls by raising awareness and driving action.
Today we are focused on:
-
Collecting and distributing the facts that describe the positive change girls have on their communities.
-
Identifying the girl-specific actions and investments that will ignite change.
-
Forming a community of like-minded organizations with diverse expertise to inform our collective work.
