Understanding Governance of Early Childhood Development and Education Systems and Services in Low-Income Countries
This initial exploratory study examines the governance and finance of ECS in three countries using an in-depth qualitative approach. The methodologies and tools provide an innovative strategy built upon the literature of governance and finance to understand how to improve access, quality and equity of ECS. Cross-country analyses reveal key emerging trends in ECD systems governance at different levels and around crucial dimensions, including actors, coordination, policy architectures, and local-level perspectives. The findings of this study have implications for strengthening systems of global ECD systems research.
Quality of Early Childhood Development Programs in Global Contexts
"Across nations, Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs are of great interest to policymakers, service providers, and families. ECD programs are cross-cutting, often involving the health, education, child welfare, and other sectors, and their emphases shift over the early childhood years. In this paper, the authors propose equity as the construct central to the provision of ECD programs in an international context. Equity can be conceptualized relative to two components, access and quality. In the past there has been greater focus on building access to ECD program services with less emphasis placed on quality, particularly when programs are taken to scale in low- and middle-income (LAMI)...
Early Moments Matter for Every Child
This report presents data and outlines best practices and policies that can put governments on the path to providing every child with the best start in life. It outlines the neuroscience of early childhood development (ECD), including the importance of nutrition, protection and stimulation in the early years. And it makes the case for scaling up investment, evaluation and monitoring in ECD programmes. The report concludes with a six-point call to action for governments and their partners to help maximize the potential of the children who will build the future – by making the most of the unparalleled opportunities offered by the early moments in life.

"Globally, 250 million children fail to meet developmental potential in the first five years of life--45% of all under-fives. This special issue presents 19 state-of-the-art papers that serve as a much needed guide for better implementation research and practice, including improved reporting of implementation structures and processes of ECD programs"--Publisher's description.
Investing in Young Children for Peaceful Societies
With the worst human refugee crisis since World War II as the backdrop, from March 16 through March 18, 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, in partnership with UNICEF and the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Center for Inter-religious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID), held a workshop in Amman, Jordan, to explore topics related to investing in young children for peaceful societies. Over the course of the workshop, researchers, policy makers, program practitioners, funders, youth, and other experts came together to understand the effects of conflict and violence on children, women, and youth across areas of health, education, nutrition, social protection, and other domains. The goal of the workshop was to continue to fill in gaps in knowledge and explore opportunities for discourse through a process of highlighting the science and practice. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
The Role of Family Literacy Environments in Promoting Young Children's Emerging Literacy Skills
The research collected in this new issue seeks to identify whichaspects of family literacy environments promote children's emergingliteracy and which experiences in the home facilitate thedevelopment of children's literacy skills. This issue presents aninnovative model of emergent literacy in which written language, atall levels of specificity, is at the center of the construct ofemergent literacy. In addition, studies presented in this issuehighlight the association between child and family literacy acrossage and socioeconomic background. These studies demonstrate thespecificity of associations between family literacy environmentsand young children's emerging literacy skills, showing that theparticular type of literacy interaction influences the particularliteracy skill being developed. This is the 92nd issue of the Jossey-Bass series NewDirections for Child and Adolescent Development.
