UNESCO is pleased to announce the global launch of Planning for healthy and thriving learners – a coordinated program of work to embed health and well-being into education sector planning.

The global launch will take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and will welcome education stakeholders, planners and partners.

The event is organized by UNESCO, including its Headquarters, International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA), Regional offices in Dakar and Harare, in partnership with the African Union (AU) the Inter-Agency Group on School Health and Nutrition, and supported by GPE.
