Abstract
The World Bank, in partnership with the Population Council, and the Center for Global Development (CGD), launched the Pathways to Prosperity for Adolescent Girls in Africa report in October 2024. The joint report brings urgently needed focus to the challenges faced by adolescent girls across the region and presents targeted policy solutions to address their diverse experiences and needs.
The report findings were discussed in Nairobi, Kenya during a policy and evidence workshop held on March 3, 2025. The workshop shone a spotlight on the status and wellbeing of adolescent girls in Kenya and enabled stakeholders to share insights and priority actions that will set adolescent girls on the path to prosperity, positioning them as key drivers of Kenya and Africa's future. The workshop brought together over 100 participants, including representatives of government ministries and county departments serving adolescents, multi-lateral agencies, youth representatives, and international, national and grassroots organizations focused on adolescents.
Key indicators on adolescent girls in Kenya are included in the Kenya country brief and this presentation.
