The data compilation and production were coordinated by Claudia Cappa and Nicole Petrowski, with inputs and support from Isabel Jijon.  \n● The preparation of these profiles was carried out in collaboration with the Nurturing Care for Early Childhood Development Metrics Joint Technical Working Group of the Countdown to 2030. Members of the working group include: Diego Luna Bazaldua, Maureen Black, Claudia Cappa, Joshua Jeong, Joan Lombardi, Elizabeth Lule, Chunling Lu, Sheila Manji, Dana Charles McCoy, Juliana Chen Peraza, Chemba Raghavan, Linda Richter (chair), Kate Strong, Emily Vargas-Baron and Patricia Wekulo. The working group is part of the larger Countdown to 2030, directed by Cheikh Faye.  \n● Design modifications and data updates were undertaken by Blossom Communications in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025.  \n● The first phase of the early childhood development Countdown work was hosted by the Department of Science and Technology-National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence in Human Development at the University of the Witwatersrand, under the directorship of Linda Richter.  \n● The first phase was funded by the Conrad N.

The initiative was carried forward by a subgroup supporting the Nurturing Care Framework developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and partners.  \nThe profiles are an attempt to compile, in one place, the available data for country and cross-country monitoring and to provide a baseline against which progress can be monitored. More comparable country data and analysis are needed to propel the early childhood development agenda, monitor impact, direct attention to areas requiring additional effort and resources, and measure progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) . Progress is being made, and opportunities exist for further analyses with currently available data. For example, with adequate resources, country micro-data could be disaggregated further. Nevertheless, the country profiles draw attention to significant gaps, especially in extracting data pertaining to the youngest children and measuring services to improve nurturing care. It is hoped that the country profiles will prompt advocacy and action to refine measurement parameters and to collect comparable country data.  \nHow the profiles were developed  \nAuthors of the Lancet series collaborated on the initial selection of countries and indicators. Several authors contributed new or additional analyses. For example, the Composite Risk Index used to estimate the number of children under 5 years of age at risk for poor early childhood development was updated using the poverty line published by the World Bank, extending the trend from 2005 to 2010 to 2015.  \nUpdates on progress on the selection and refinement of countries and indicators werepresented at several meetings: one at an early childhood develop","cbCainTxqPKiD42j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainTxqPKiD42j","pdf",18370755,225,"English","# Acknowledgements\n# Introduction\n# How the profiles were developed\n# Countries\n# Indicators\n# How the profiles are organized\n# Next steps\n# Country profiles\n# Technical Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the early childhood development country profiles?\",\"answer\":\"They compile available data for country and cross-country monitoring, establish a baseline to track progress, and help identify gaps in measurement and services supporting nurturing care.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the profiles originally developed?\",\"answer\":\"Authors from the Lancet series helped select initial countries and indicators, and the work was carried forward with partners supporting the Nurturing Care Framework.\"},{\"question\":\"Which countries are covered in the profiles?\",\"answer\":\"Profiles are provided for 198 countries, with an original subset of 91 countries produced in 2018 based on risk and exposure criteria related to stunting and extreme poverty.\"}]","THRIVE - NURTURING CARE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT - Country profiles for early childhood development | PDF",1792063986,567]
