The Girls Agenda 2026

​The Girls Agenda 2026 is a high-level regional conference bringing together governments, development partners, philanthropic organizations, the private sector, academia, civil society, media, and adolescent girls to explore what it will take to sustain progress for girls across Africa.

​Theme: Sustaining the Girls Agenda: Building Systems, Partnerships and Investments for Lasting Impact?

​This year's conversation shifts the focus from "How do we fund girls?" to "What does it take to sustain progress for girls?" Recognizing that sustainable development cannot be achieved without sustained investment in girls, the conference will spotlight practical solutions that strengthen systems, financing, partnerships, policy implementation, innovation, and accountability.

​Over two days, participants will engage in keynote addresses, ministerial dialogues, CEO and donor roundtables, interactive panel discussions, innovation showcases, networking sessions, and collaborative working forums designed to translate commitments into action
