This webinar focuses on understanding what type of programming works in reaching and engaging adolescents in economic and financial activity, with a special interest in those programs that focus on girls and young women.
The webinar explores experiences from the World Bank’s Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI), a public-private partnership that was launched in 2008 and now spans eight countries, as well as the CYFI School Bank program. Drawing on these experiences, the webinar looks at the role of social capital and social networks, along with apprenticeship and mentorship, in promoting workforce development programs. Specifically, it examines those programs that can effectively create positive impacts for adolescent girls and young women.
