About the Programme

In 2022, the Mastercard Foundation in partnership with BRAC

positive and measurable impact for 1.2 million adolescent girls and
young women and 9.5 million people across seven countries in East and
West Africa, including Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone,
Tanzania, and Uganda.

There is mounting urgency to support adolescent girls and young women
(AGYW) living in poverty, which has been further amplified by the
global pandemic. Through this partnership, scalable economic development
approaches will be delivered in communities to foster the agency and
voice of AGYW. They will have the opportunity to fulfill their
aspirations, achieve sustainable livelihoods, and engage in advocacy
issues.

BRAC International will implement an integrated and holistic model to
address the various life cycles of a young woman living in poverty,

She will be equipped with the appropriate skills, tools, and access to
finance to effectively exercise her agency and build a fulfilling and
