With a solid educational base already established, the country has a unique chance to broaden its efforts toward comprehensive empowerment by addressing both economic and social dimensions. Prioritizing school-to-work transitions, digital inclusion, effective policy implementation, and context-specific strategies can help unlock the full potential of adolescent girls. These efforts are essential not only to reduce disparities across geographic, gender, and socioeconomic lines but also to generate significant economic returns that benefit the nation as a whole. Achieving this vision requires coordinated, multi-sectoral action tailored to Kenya’s diverse contexts, with a strong focus on reaching the most vulnerable populations.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOADOLESCENT GIRLSSCHOOL TO WORK TRANSITIONGENDER GAPSWOMEN EMPOWERMENTBriefWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/43377
