A series of regional multi-stakeholder consultations will be held in June and July 2021 to explore policy and programming issues related to the agreed definition of adolescent well-being. Governments, UN organizations, young people, youth-led and youth-serving organizations, funding agencies and academics, will focus on practical suggestions for how programmes to promote adolescent well-being can be effective.
In preparation for the consultations, academics, researchers, policy makers, programme implementers and young people have examined policy and programming implications related to adolescent health and well-being through a series of fifteen background papers.
