The Together for Girls global partnership model is designed to promote coordination and leverage resources from partner organizations, including government, United Nations, and private sector entities, as well as other generous donors.
Contributions to the partnership support global, regional, and national-level partners as well as the Together for Girls Secretariat and the Brave Movement. Resources are allocated to activities and projects through several mechanisms, depending on the funding criteria.
The majority of funds received are transferred internally within partner organizations, and are accounted for through their audited financial statements. The CDC Foundation, the United Nations Foundation, and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF have also received and administered funds that support partnership activities.
