Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank recently hosted a
symposium on the priority of early child development (ECD)
for economic growth and equity. The participants urged
application of population-based tools and measures to assess
the outcomes of children's early years and
children's readiness for school. This study is derived
from the symposium and is a valuable resource for policy
makers, economists, donors, and investors, as well as
researchers and practitioners in early child development. It
summarizes the current neuroscience on early child
development and major longitudinal studies, the rationale
and urgency for greater investment, and countries'
innovative funding strategies. The report consists of 15
chapters authored by ECD experts and leaders in the field.
The chapters are grouped into five main parts relating to
the: business imperative and societal benefits of ECD
investments; lessons from evaluation of longitudinal ECD
interventions; countries' experiences in monitoring ECD
interventions; innovative approaches to countries'
financing of ECD initiatives; and next steps on the ECD
agenda for the next 5 years. A theme highlighted at the
symposium and enlarged upon here is the urgent need for
evidence- and population-based instruments and measures to
monitor, evaluate, and compare ECD interventions over time
and across settings.
