CIPRE Forum: Advancing the Agenda: Using Research to Integrate Health and Early Childhood Practice Worldwide

To ensure that children are not only physically healthy but are also prepared to learn, governments and others are turning to early childhood development (ECD) programs. Although there is near-universal agreement on the value of ECD, it is unclear how best to integrate health and child development programming to achieve better outcomes for children. A noted panel of experts discusses the evidence for weaving ECD into child survival and health programs, with a focus on identifying strategies and promising innovations that can be adapted and replicated.
