Abstrakt: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are ambitious and integrated in nature, requiring strengthened multi-sectoral partnerships to deliver on a transformative and universal agenda that leaves no one behind. The multi-stakeholder platform Every Woman Every Child (EWEC), spearheaded by the United Nations Secretary-General, places the health and well-being of women, children and adolescents at the core of the SDGs and unites partners across sectors to deliver on this integrated agenda. EWEC's Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health (2016-2030) aims to serve as a front-runner roadmap for countries to implement the SDGs in a way that addresses inequities and strengthens fragile health systems (EWEC, 2015). A child's earliest years present a window of opportunity to address inequity and achieve sustainable development for all. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
