Quote:According to UNICEF, Africa’s child population will reach one billion by 2055, making it the largest child population among all continents—a demographic powerhouse which will continue to shape the future. Simultaneously, girls and young women in African countries, and around the world, are facing a unique set of challenges as the climate crisis, conflicts, and democratic backsliding create significant barriers to their empowerment.
Strengthening our investments in and partnerships with African girls and young women is paramount in this shifting landscape.
