The conference aims at breaking the silence around the unmet needs of the large and increasing cohort of adolescents in the Middle East and North Africa Region.

The objectives are:

• Bringing together key stakeholders in adolescent health – including academia, policy makers, practitioners, researchers, adolescent and youth representatives, and the media to discuss how to advance the agenda for better adolescent health and well-being.
• Sharing scientific evidence on adolescent health and development, as well as insights from practitioners and adolescents into the successes and limitations of current strategies and interventions at regional and national levels.
• Providing a multi-sectorial platform for discussing and building a shared understanding, identifying gaps and opportunities, and developing a way forward for adolescent health, development and development and rights in the region.
• Advocating for regional research
