Plan’s evidence indicates that girls are best placed to drive program content and ensure its applicability to the local context. GirlEngage shifts the focus of girls from passive beneficiaries to active participants, amplifying their voices in all stages of the project cycle, from setting goals to program evaluation. By engaging girls and young women as partners and co-designers, we co-create innovative, sustainable solutions that reflect their priorities, needs and vision.
The best way to identify the challenges girls and young women face is by asking the experts: the girls themselves.
