Global Activator Network for Adolescent Girls' Health- Global Alliance for Women's Health

Adolescent girls’ health is a cornerstone of inclusive development and long-term national resilience.

Investing in this life stage yields high social and economic returns by improving educational attainment, workforce participation and community well-being. Yet, adolescent girls, particularly in low- and middle-income settings, face persistent barriers to accurate information, essential products and services and supportive social norms to support their health and well-being.

The Global Activator Network for Adolescent Girls' Health will mobilize governments, the private sector and civil society partners to advance policy, investment and action for adolescent girls’ health through a life-course lens. The expected outcomes of this collaboration are:
