Deeply energizing to get to meet young (and less young!) researchers at the Women and Jobs in Africa workshop the AGIL co-organized last week at the University of Ghana, along with The World Bank Center for Research on Women and Jobs and African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET).

Honored to moderate this discussion on women’s agency and the power of group models. Join us tomorrow to learn more about what shapes women’s decision-making, how groups improve outcomes for women and girls, and why these insights should influence measurement, programming, and future research.

Looking forward to being part of this UN CSW panel bringing together governments, researchers, and civil society on how social protection can advance gender equality across a woman’s life course
This Thursday... Join us!
