The Forum also provides an opportunity to identify potential opportunities for further international collaboration to accelerate efforts to meet existing commitments to achieve the 2030 agenda. The opening session from 09:00-09:45 CEST will be broadcast on the Forum's webpage. You can find more information on the Forum here. Requests for interviews can be sent to kelleherl@who.int  Thursday, 29 June New progress report on A new report assesses progress - five years on - against the global Nurturing care framework, which provides an integrated approach to early years’ interventions spanning nutrition, health, safety and security, learning and responsive caregiving. With the brain growing fastest in the first three years of life, children’s experiences over this window have profound, lifelong impacts on learning, health, behaviour and – ultimately– adult social relationships, well-being and earnings. The report notes that attention to these vital early years has expanded in policies and related services. However, it calls for increased investments to expand services and demonstrate impact, especially amongst vulnerable populations. Ensuring adequate support for children with developmental difficulties and addressing caregivers’ psychosocial wellbeing are part of this agenda. More information can be found here.
