About

The Forum is a platform to bring together a wide range of actors who are typically siloed from each other: academics, multilateral and bilateral donors, national ministries of health and environment, the UN system, professional organizations, NGOs, and the private sector. By providing a virtual space for knowledge exchange amongst stakeholders from a wide range of expertise and backgrounds, the Forum aims to build global awareness to address lead exposure in low-and middle-income countries.

There is no safe level of lead exposure. Yet, 800 million children worldwide have high levels of lead in their blood. Most of these children live in low-and middle-income countries. Many people and organizations are working to reduce lead exposure. The Forum provides an opportunity to learn from each other.
