India has unveiled the Alliance for Global Good – Gender Equity and Equality.
The alliance, which began with the G20 Leaders’ Declaration, aims to accelerate improvements in women’s health, education, and livelihoods by bringing together governments, businesses, philanthropic, and multilateral organizations.
Its main objectives include knowledge exchange, teamwork, and funding evidence-based programs that empower women and girls worldwide.
