Abstract
In the lead up to 2030, the goalpost for the Agenda for Sustainable Development, there is strong global interest in promoting evidence-based strategies to end child marriage and in tracking progress toward target 5.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2019, the UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction, the World Health Organization, the UNFPA-UNICEF Global Programme to End Child Marriage, and Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage convened an expert group meeting to review progress made in building the evidence base on child marriage, identify an updated set of research priorities [1], and discuss how best to support research coordination, translation, and uptake [2].
Highlights
In the lead up to 2030, the goalpost for the Agenda for Sustainable Development, there is strong global interest in promoting evidence-based strategies to end child marriage and in tracking progress toward target 5.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals
Several recent initiatives address that latter objective of research coordination and translation and uptake of evidence by practitioners and policy makers. This includes the Child Marriage Learning Partners Consortium described in the accompanying commentary by Efevbera and Petroni et al [3] and whose learning products make up the current supplement
We describe two additional efforts that are designed to be of value to researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and the general public interested in the issue of child marriage and serve to more widely disseminate the kind of work published in this supplement
Summary
In the lead up to 2030, the goalpost for the Agenda for Sustainable Development, there is strong global interest in promoting evidence-based strategies to end child marriage and in tracking progress toward target 5.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals. Several recent initiatives address that latter objective of research coordination and translation and uptake of evidence by practitioners and policy makers.
