Investing in Young Children to End Global Poverty 2016 RESULTS International Conference

What is early childhood development? Targets children from before birth to age 8 Cross-sectoral Nutrition Interaction and parent support Early learning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHqUMqvL1RQ

Why now? 4.2 by 2030 ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education

Why now? “Our failure to make the right investments in early childhood development is condemning millions of children to lives of exclusion. We can’t promise to equalize development outcomes, but we can insist on equalizing opportunity.” -World Bank President Jim Kim April 2016
