ABOUT THE 2018 PARTNERS’ FORUM
PMNCH will bring together 1,200 partners dedicated to the Every Woman Every Child (EWEC) movement and to the achievement of the UN Secretary General’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (Global Strategy) on 12 and 13 December 2018 in New Delhi, India. Many more partners will participate online.
Three years into the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Global Strategy, the time has come to review progress, share experiences and build momentum towards our common objectives. The Partners’ Forum will be a platform for inspiration and ideas, bringing local projects that are scalable, impactful, innovative and sustainable to a global audience.
We will discuss some important questions:
-Are women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health and well-being being prioritized in the SDG era and in national efforts to achieve universal health coverage?
-How are countries working across sectors, and how can these experiences be shared and built upon?
-Are our messages resonating with new and old partners alike?
-What are the most stubborn challenges and barriers to accelerating progress, and how can we work together to overcome them?
The Forum will be hosted by the Government of India in collaboration with PMNCH and with the support of many of partners.
