How can we protect and advance the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents and young people in the face of overlapping crises? ACSHR 2026 will bring together Africa’s leading youth advocates, policymakers, researchers, civil society organisations, development partners and UN agencies to accelerate action on regional and global commitments. By placing young people’s leadership at the heart of the discussions, the conference will provide a unique platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships and showcase innovative, community-driven solutions.

🌍 The 2026 Adolescent Girls Summit (AGS) is a regional platform led by and for adolescents, bringing together girls, boys and young people in Yamoussoukro from across West Africa and beyond to advance gender justice and the rights of adolescents. Under the theme Count Us In: African Adolescents Co-Creating Solutions to Advance Gender Justice and Rights, the summit will spotlight young people’s voices, leadership and solutions.

School‑Related Gender‑Based Violence (SRGBV) is affecting the learning, safety and well‑being of millions of learners worldwide, holding back entire education systems and limiting progress toward inclusive, gender‑equal education. The cost of inaction is enormous, but so is the opportunity: safer, more inclusive schools benefit everyone.

Join UNGEI, UNESCO and UNICEF for a webinar spotlighting practical solutions to turn commitment to SRGBV into long-lasting change.
