"Later this month, Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi will receive the Nobel Peace Prize for their work promoting children’s rights, including the right of girls around the world to get an education. These two exemplify local leadership at its best, and serve as powerful examples of the role community-led solutions play in the complicated work of mobilizing for children’s rights.  Local leaders can rally their neighbors, embrace the nuances of local culture, and create change in a way that works for the whole community. As places around the world seek to improve girls’ education and strengthen their economies, governments, and societies, supporting and listening to local leaders, including community-based solutions to complex barriers, will be critical.

First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama will offer keynote remarks on community-based solutions in girls’ education. Mrs. Obama’s address will be followed by a panel discussion featuring experts in the field on the role of community-based solutions in advancing girls’ education. 

Follow the discussion on Twitter with the hashtag #GirlsEdu.  

This event will be live webcast."

Read introduction by Rebecca Winthrop from Brookings.
