PMNCH’s 13th Annual Accountability Breakfast comes at a time when progress is slowing, political will is fragile, and misinformation is rising. While the last 20 years have proven what’s possible - from dramatic declines in maternal and child mortality to policy wins for reproductive health, and the health and well-being of adolescents has begun to command the attention it deserves. Yet, now we face sharp funding cuts for evidence-based interventions and ensuring rights for women, children and adolescents are protected, mis-information and push-back on rights and social justice, and a deep fragmentation of global solidarity.
This is not a time to “meet and repeat.” This is a time to reset the narrative and challenge our sector to work differently - bringing in leaders from communities, climate, technology, education, justice, and the private sector alongside health experts, and lead with courage and urgency.
The event will take stock of progress; gaps and challenges that remain and recentre accountability for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health everywhere. The event will also unveil PMNCH’s new Strategy 2026–2030: Partnership for Change: Promoting and protecting women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health in a fragmented world, framing it not only as a health agenda, but as a movement for power, rights, and equity - and positioning PMNCH as the go-to platform for collective action and accountability in a fractured world. Through bold partnerships and collective action, we aim to drive progress, close gaps, and ensure that every life has the opportunity to thrive.
The event is organized by PMNCH, under the auspices of the Global Leaders Network for women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (GLN) and in support of Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere (EVENE), Child Survival Action (CSA) initiatives. It is supported by FP2030, PATH, Amref Health Africa, IPA, Ipas, and MSI Reproductive Choices.
The event will be used as an opportunity to:
- Take stock of the current situation that women, children, and adolescents are facing and demand accountability for commitments made.
- Reframe women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health in the context of global disruptions - from conflict to AI and misinformation and discuss actions needed, and with hard-wired accountability since the beginning for sustainable outcomes.
- Celebrate PMNCH’s 20th anniversary and launch PMNCH’s new Strategy 2026-2030 – looking at achievements and discussing how the Partnership can step up to the challenges the world’s women, children, and adolescents face today.
