As the COVID-19 pandemic expands in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) governments and communities have mobilized to protect the health of infants, children and adolescents. While initially weakened by the shut-down of the flow of goods, services, and international travel, pre-existing international coalitions have responded by strengthening local capacity, supporting COVID research, and providing on-line educational opportunities. International experts in this session will describe how international partnerships have adapted to challenges posed by the COVID pandemic to innovate and support child and adolescent health in LMICs.
