3 December: Addressing public health and disability issues affecting youth in South Sulawesi within a COVID-19 context

Improved health in individuals and across a community is a key factor in inclusive economic growth and development. South Sulawesi is the ninth-largest provincial economy in Indonesia and has growth rates higher than the national average, but high rates of disability and poor mental health mean that this development is likely to be unequal, leaving the most vulnerable behind. The COVID-19 pandemic has likely compounded this, as South Sulawesi is one of the worst hit provinces outside Java.

On Day 4, the final day of the Summit, the AIC welcomes experts, including members of PAIR’s Research Advisory Panel, to discuss issues of health and wellbeing, with a particular focus on youth, in South Sulawesi. Following this, the AIC will host a panel discussion featuring PAIR researchers, who will present their findings to date and their plans for the next stage of their research. They will ultimately provide advice to the government on how to improve health outcomes for young people especially women, and people with disability and people with poor mental health in South Sulawesi.

Indonesian and Australian Government representatives will deliver opening and closing remarks.
