The Arab Adolescent Forum 2023 aims to build a regional movement as a “Call to Action” for Adolescents, to mobilise political and financial commitment for better policies, programs, and financing to address young people’s needs.
The Arab Adolescents Forum will:
- Present gaps and share new evidence on multi-sectorial approaches to adolescent wellbeing in the Arab region.
- Engage adolescents in the Arab region, including those most left behind in both the development and humanitarian contexts.
- Call for Action for financial and political commitments to ensure better policies, programs and financing for young people’s needs in the region.
GAGE researchers Professor Bassam Abu Hamad and Dr. Nicola Jones present their reflections on engaging adolescents in research.
