Welcome to the Launch of the Adolescent Girls Agency Portal!

After years of dedicated work on girls’ agency, we’re now ready to share the Adolescent Girls Agency Portal with the world! 

The portal is an online platform for practitioners and advocates to access the groundbreaking Adolescent Girls Agency Survey, the first-of-its-kind psychometric tool that will transform how community-driven organizations evaluate girls' life skills programs. 

Please register and join us on the 30th of July at 9 am ET / 4 pm EAT for the launch of the Adolescent Girls Agency Portal! 

The portal is a collaborative initiative led by AMPLIFY Girls and Girls Agency Lab (GAL) Consulting, with the support of partners across Africa, committed to advancing girls’ agency and measurement. 

About the Adolescent Girls Agency Portal

The Adolescent Girls Agency Survey (AGAS) is a first-of-its-kind psychometric tool for evaluating girls' life skills programs in the African context. Developed through six years of collaborative research by Girls Agency Lab Consulting, AMPLIFY Girls, and AMPLIFY Girls network partners, the AGAS provides the opportunity for girl-serving organizations to demonstrate their impact using a high-quality evaluation tool. 

To make this tool available to as many organizations as possible, we are launching the Adolescent Girls Agency Portal, an online platform that will house the AGAS.
