Adolescents taking the lead: multistakeholder consultation to promote adolescent health and well-being in the WHO European Region, 6–7 July 2020

Overview

The European regional consultation meeting, part of the global initiative to strengthen prioritization of adolescent well-being led by WHO and the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH), working with the United Nations H6+ Technical Working Group on Adolescent Health and Well-being, took place virtually on 6–7 July 2021. The core of the consultation event was groupwork. Participants reviewed key issues as they relate to adolescent health and well-being in the WHO European Region to identify policy implications for countries and highlight technical and other resources needed to support countries in accelerating progress towards more equitable health and well-being in adolescence. This report summarizes the event, focusing on suggestions arising from the groupwork that can be fed into the wider consultation process.
