Accelerators for achieving the sustainable development goals in Sub-Saharan-African children and young adolescents – A longitudinal study.

• Living in a safe community, attending community-based organisations, food security and being in receipt of caregiver monitoring and praise showed accelerating effects for numerous outcomes related to the sustainable development goals. • Additive effects for combined interventions were relatively robust for mental health outcomes; school-factors require further research. • Existing interventions could be utilised or new ones devised to improve accelerator access. • Community-based organisations may be well-placed to deliver accelerating services to those most vulnerable.
