Summary: | This report presents an analysis of the
Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs and policies
which affect young children in Tajikistan. This report is
part of a series of reports prepared by the World Bank using
the Systems Approach for Better Education Results
(SABER)-ECD framework. Tajikistan has a population of 7.76
million people, of which 35 percent are below the age of 15.
Unlike some countries in the region, Tajikistan has a
positive population growth rate. SABER-ECD collects,
analyzes and disseminates comprehensive information on ECD
policies around the world. In each participating country,
extensive multi- sectoral information is collected on ECD
policies and programs through a desk review of available
government documents, data and literature, and interviews
with a range of ECD stakeholders, including government
officials, service providers, civil society, development
partners and scholars. SABER-ECD identifies three core
policy goals that countries should address to ensure optimal
ECD outcomes: establishing an enabling environment,
implementing widely and monitoring and assuring quality.
Improving ECD requires an integrated approach to address all
three goals. Tajikistan has taken steps to develop and adopt
national laws and regulations that promote appropriate
dietary consumption by pregnant women and young children. |
