This study, review of early childhood
development policy and programs in Sub-Saharan Africa, is
the second in a series of three studies conducted under the
World Bank's Africa regional early child development
(ECD) initiative. The first described the condition of young
children in Africa and pointed to the benefits of ECD in
increased efficiency of primary and secondary school
investments, children's enhanced economic contribution
to society, and the reduction of social inequity. The third
study will synthesize lessons drawn from the preceding two
studies and from case studies in Kenya, South Africa, and
Mauritius. The findings of this review are that weakened
family and public social sector support for child
development create a tremendous need for complementary and
alternative forms of child care, and that there are models.
The review selects eleven case studies from across the
Sub-Saharan region to illustrate a range of possibilities
for an integrated response to the physical, socio-emotional,
cognitive, economic and cultural dimensions of young
children's development, so that impact is maximized
through the interconnectedness of investments. |
