Harnessing Global Data for Young Children brings together researchers, policymakers and implementers to leverage the power of global data to advance young children’s learning and development.

 

The @GlobalData4Kids Project — led by the Universities of Oxford and the Witwatersrand — is launching their first public webinar, hosted by ECDAN.

 

Presentations will focus on available data on young children from low and middle-income countries to enable stakeholders to improve early development, learning and pre-primary education through better understanding of determinants of and risks to children’s development, economic consequences and policy and legal frameworks to address them.
