Abstract

On March 12, 2024, the Population Council’s GIRL Center in collaboration with UNICEF and the Cash Transfer and IPV Research Collaborative, cohosted an event on the sidelines of the 68th Session of the Commission for the Status of Women (CSW68). The event brought together practitioners, researchers, adolescent girls, and representatives of governments and bilateral and multilateral organizations. Evidence on the impact of social protection and cash plus programs was highlighted. A panel of experts shared perspectives on evidence and critical actions needed to empower adolescent girls through cash plus social protection programs. This short report provides a summary of the event's proceedings and key insights and recommendations.
