What People Are Saying About the Newly Launched Adolescent Girls Agency Portal

The launch of the Adolescent Girls Agency Portal by AMPLIFY Girls and Girls Agency Lab Consulting has generated significant attention from leaders across the girls' empowerment, development, and philanthropy sectors.

The portal, which houses the groundbreaking Adolescent Girls Agency Survey (AGAS), represents the first psychometric tool designed specifically by and for African organizations working with adolescent girls. As word spreads about this innovative platform, practitioners, funders, and advocates are weighing in on its potential to transform how we measure and demonstrate impact in girls' programming.

Here's what people are saying about the portal and the breakthrough it represents for community-driven organizations across Africa:

Erin Ganju, Founder, Accelerator for Shifting Gender Norms through Education, said, “I was impressed by how user-friendly the AGAS portal is - AMPLIFY Girls kept the NGO at the center of their design, especially Community-Driven Organizations that may have small Monitoring & Evaluation teams. The insight pages will be particularly useful in understanding and communicating externally an organization's impact." 

Patricia Egessa, Director of Global Communications, International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), said, "The AGAS is a valuable resource for girl-serving organizations. The new Adolescent Girls Agency Portal makes the tool more accessible to organizations that are looking for rigorous evidence to strengthen their programs and advocacy efforts."

Trizah Gakwa, Be That Girl Foundation, said, “The AGAS will help measure key outcomes of girl-centered programs that have been so difficult to measure. Metrics like increased confidence and self-esteem are great indicators of increased agency, but can be so hard to measure. This tool will not only help measure such indicators but will also generate evidence on the kind of programming that leads to positive outcomes for girls. Be That Girl Foundation is so excited to support our partners to begin using this tool!”
