On Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website, There are many things being done to help children around the world. In Zambia the Early childhood education initiation is being launched along with UNICEF to help bring a greater early childhood experience. Brazil politicians, policymakers, public managers and civil-society leaders had come together for the first time because of an executive leadership course on early childhood development, which was hosted by the Center on the Developing Child. "... growing, interdisciplinary body of scientific research is already starting to transform the health and well-being of children in the highest-income countries and offers promising opportunity for other nations. Much work needs to be done, however, to successfully raise the commitment to an integrated approach to child development that would enable such breakthroughs to cross economic and national borders" (Harvard GCI, 2012).

Shalice,
ReplyDeleteUNICEF is leading in the push to help every boy and girl in the world receive an adequate education, which is one of their human rights. It is interesting to see that private sectors around the world are becoming more involved in promoting healthy development in young children.
