Following the 2019 diagnostic study, IPBF brought together 40 young women and girls from the francophone West African countries that took part in the diagnostic study for a consultation workshop. Under the theme Rethinking Strategies to Promote the Rights of Young Women and Girls, this workshop aimed at reviewing the results of the diagnostic study and developing innovative initiatives for a better consideration of the needs and aspirations of young women and girls in development interventions.
Several recommendations resulted from this meeting, including the need to establish a mentoring system for young women and girl leaders in the region, to create a flexible financial support system for organizations advocating for the rights of young women and girls, to establish a support system for young women and girls organizations, among others.
