Description

This study provides an overview of Bank investments in Early Childhood Development (ECD) from 2000-2013 within the Education, Health, Nutrition and Population, and Social Protection and Labor practices.

The study summarises trends in operational and analytical investments in early childhood, including lending and trust funded operations at the country, regional, and global levels.

Findings are presented on the overall level of finance during this thirteen-year period, the number of ECD investments, and regional and sectoral trends.

A series of case studies are presented to highlight lessons learned to inform future Bank support to ECD and to promote better planning across sectors and regions.

Trends in analytical and advisory activities are also discussed, including economic sector work, technical assistance, partnership activities, impact evaluations, programmatic approaches, and knowledge products.

Finally, the study discusses recent new approaches to support ECD within the World Bank and in client countries.

The study benefited from support from the Children Investment Fund Foundation.
