This global meeting was built on the momentum generated since the Alliance’s official launch in November 2024, as well as on a year of rich regional and national consultations across different regions.

During the meeting that brought together 151 participants, including high-level government representatives, civil society, faith-based organizations, the United Nations, children, and other partners, the marketplace for knowledge-sharing was launched. Over two days, this gathering provided a trusted space to showcase actions, deepen peer learning, and peer exchange.
