Summary: | This report presents an analysis of
the Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs and policies
that affect young children in Nigeria and recommendations to
move forward. This report is part of a series of reports
prepared by the World Bank using the SABER-ECD framework and
includes analysis of early learning, health, nutrition and
social and child protection policies and interventions in
Nigeria, along with regional and international comparisons.
Data on ECD policies and programs were collected through the
SABER-ECD exercise in Bauchi, Ekiti, Kwara, and Oyo states.
The SABER-ECD initiative is designed to enable ECD policy
makers and development partners to identify opportunities
for further development of effective ECD systems. This
Country Report presents a framework to compare Nigeria s ECD
system with other countries in goals and corresponding nine
policy levers are examined in detail and some policy options
are identified to strengthen ECD services that are offered.
Table 15 summarizes the key policy options identified to
inform policy dialogue and improve the provision of
essential ECD services in Nigeria to ensure that all young
children have a strong start in life and the opportunity to
reach their full potential. |
