Check back this week for posts from the 5th Annual Clinton Global Initiative. I was invited to attend the event as a blogger. The agenda is packed with interesting speakers and topics. Presidents Obama and Clinton start things off at the Opening Plenary Session on Tuesday. I have passes for several additional events, including:
- Investing in Girls and Women
- Harnessing Innovation for Development
- Enterprise-Based Strategies for Health and Education
- Leadership and Jobs to Overcome Humanitarian Crisis
Given my on-going research with young women in Uganda and Kenya, I am particularly excited about this year’s special topic: Investing in Girls and Women.
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) is pleased to announce special Annual Meeting programming on the topic of Investing in Girls and Women. President Clinton and CGI members have shown an ongoing interest in this important issue, which cuts across the global challenge areas of education, energy and climate change, global health, and poverty alleviation, and also provides an entry point into CGI’s four Action Areas – Harnessing Innovation for Development, Financing a Sustainable Future, Developing Human Capital, and Strengthening Infrastructure. Through a series of events and sessions, the CGI Annual Meeting program will examine how solutions that support girls and women around the world can improve entire communities and drive economic progress.
