This briefing summarises findings from the global survey conducted ahead of the Nordic MHPSS Conference 2026 in Oslo.
Circulated by the conference’s Open Pledge Group, the survey collected responses from 96 stakeholders across international and local NGOs, research institutions, donors, practitioners, UN agencies, and youth-led organisations. Geographic coverage spanned Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe, Nordic countries, and global multi-region contexts.
The survey was coordinated by the MHPSS Collaborative and UNICEF Office of Innovation.
