Developmental inequalities among children and young people are an urgent challenge requiring collaborative, research-based solutions. A growing body of evidence shows that large numbers of children and young people around the world are exposed to inequalities that hinder their development. The 17th annual INRICH workshop will bring together researchers and partners to explore local and international perspectives, as well as practical approaches to reducing these disparities. Over two days, discussions will highlight a variety of initiatives, ranging from community voices to student contributions, to support meaningful impact on policy and practice.  Together, these sessions aim to strengthen shared understanding and support actionable pathways to improving developmental equity for children and young people.

By facilitating dialogue between an international group of researchers and community partners on effective practices and areas for improvement in child and youth development, we aim to further inform intervention research and guide action across different sectors.
