The purpose of this roundtable is to assess the impact of recent funding freezes and policy shifts, explore sustainable financing solutions, and reaffirm a shared commitment to the rights and well-being of adolescent girls. The event will bring together funders, CAG members, and partners for a strategic dialogue on sustaining and strengthening existing investments. We anticipate that this convening will lead to renewed stakeholder commitments to sustained, impactful support for adolescent girls’ programs and policies.
