Good Health and Well-Being
Power to choose
Different people in different situations have different needs. They require different options to fill those needs. A young woman in southern Africa, a gay man in South-East Asia and a person who injects drugs in the Middle East all face different challenges that put them at risk of HIV. Effective prevention options exist for them. They need the power to choose among them.
UNCTAD port call statistics
Port connectivity has been analysed through a synthetic indicator (the port LSCI), which does not inform on the respective contributions of different components used to compute it. To supplement this analysis at the port level, this section investigates how port calls and time spent by vessels at ports have evolved in the last four years using the UNCTAD port call and performance statistics. The UNCTAD port call statistics provide an overview of ships’ characteristics and the time they spent in the country’s ports during a certain period (either by semester or annually) and are based on data provided by MarineTraffic.
Conclusions and the way forward
SHN programmes are one of the most widely implemented public policies across all regions of the world. Governments in most countries are already investing in the health and well-being of school-age children and adolescents through them. These investments demonstrate growing recognition of the central role of the school system in protecting and promoting health, nutrition and well-being. While there has been significant progress, more needs to be done to ensure that these programmes are comprehensive, implemented at scale to meet the needs of all learners, and sustained. Improving the quality, relevance and reach of SHN programmes offers a unique opportunity to transform education and the lives and prospects of children and adolescents. Key conclusions and priorities for action highlighted by the report follow.
