In 2007, ImagineNations and the World Bank founded the Global Partnership for Youth Investment (GPYI), a formal and enduring relationship that shares a common mission: To improve the lives of young people (with a special emphasis on adolescent girls and young women) through their economic advancement and social inclusion. In time, the partnership will build from a dozen committed partners and grow to include scores of social entrepreneurs, thought leaders, investors, financial institutions, global brands, media, private corporations, non-government and civil society organizations - all working together.
