Publisher's Synopsis
The 'Building Bridges to Success for Adolescent Girls in Africa' report will examine the key challenges to economic empowerment for adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. Beyond examining common obstacles to economic well-being, this report will highlight the gender differential constraints that uniquely impact adolescent girls. Drawing on rigorous analysis and a review of the existing evidence, this report will outline evidence-based approaches to support adolescent girls, their households, and their broader environments, for girls to achieve their fullest potential. Furthermore, this report aims to analyze segments of adolescent girls and young women to identify how to maximize the impact of financial inclusion, integrating an adolescent girl's perspective on critical considerations for effective program and policy implementation, and inviting participants to share their perspectives, experiences, and suggestions. Finally, the report will offer practical guidance for policymakers to tackle existing obstacles and set adolescent girls on a pathway to prosperity.
