If we wholeheartedly invest in girls, we will see stronger communities and families, sustainable economies, lower rates of maternal mortality and morbidity, lower rates of HIV and AIDS, less poverty, more innovation, reduced rates of joblessness and more equitable prosperity. With support from the UN Foundation, the Task Force aims to strengthen interagency collaboration at both the global and country levels, facilitate the development of effective programmes to address the rights and needs of adolescent girls, support the drive to achieve the MDGs, and eliminate all forms of violence and discrimination against girls and young women. The agencies committed to increasing support to governments and civil societies over the next five years to advance policies and programmes to empower the hardest-to-reach adolescent girls.
