On April 19, 2018, the World Bank Group (WBG), with the support of the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Embassy of Canada, organized a high-level symposium on global mental health challenges and options at WBG Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event was entitled 'Moving the Needle: Mental Health Stories from Around the World.' Convened as part of the 2018 World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings, 'Moving the Needle' built on a groundbreaking global mental health conference co-organized by the WBG and the World Health Organization (WHO) two years earlier. 'Moving the Needle' welcomed more than 80 expert participants from 30 organizations and agencies. Participants included policy makers, technical experts, researchers, advocates, and representatives of civil society organizations and development agencies.
