Volume 18 Supplement 1
The Supplement benefitted from two author workshops which were supported by a grant from the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH). The Supplement was produced as part of the work of the Countdown to 2030 for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Information about the source of funding for publication charges can be found in the individual articles. The articles have undergone the journal's standard peer review process for supplements. Supplement Editors were not involved in the peer review for any article that they co-authored. The Supplement Editors declare that they have no other competing interests.
