Adolescent Gate (AGO) is ready to scale impact.
Investment Rationale
Lasting impact for girls, adolescents, and young women—particularly those with disabilities—requires more than effective programs; it demands strong evidence, continuous learning, and systems-level change. Too often, policies and investments are shaped without reliable data on disability, gender, and intersectional exclusion, leading to gaps in service delivery and accountability.
Investing in evidence and learning strengthens program quality, improves resource allocation, and drives policy reforms that extend impact beyond individual projects. By generating and using high-quality, inclusive data, AGO ensures that interventions are effective, scalable, and embedded within public systems.
AGO’s Approach
AGO integrates evidence generation, learning, and policy influence across all program pillars to achieve sustainable, system-wide change.
Robust Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Systems
AGO implements strong MEL systems that track outputs, outcomes, and impact across education, health, protection, livelihoods, and leadership. These systems emphasize participatory methods, ethical data collection, and real-time learning to continuously improve program design and delivery.
Disability- and Gender-Disaggregated Data
We prioritize the collection and analysis of disability-, gender-, and age-disaggregated data to ensure visibility of marginalized groups. AGO applies internationally recognized tools and inclusive methodologies to capture the experiences and outcomes of girls, adolescents with disabilities, and young mothers—informing evidence-based decision-making.
Policy Engagement at District and National Levels
AGO engages with government institutions, education and health authorities, and policy forums to translate evidence into action. Through technical input, policy dialogue, and advocacy, AGO supports the adoption of inclusive policies, standards, and financing mechanisms at district and national levels.

✔ Stronger program effectiveness and accountability through evidence-based decision-making
