| Summary: | The sustained benefits of early
childhood interventions are well established in developed
countries. Early development plays a major role in
subsequent school performance, health, socialization, and
future earnings. For children born into poverty, the equity
enhancing impact of early childhood interventions hold the
promise of overcoming social disadvantages and breaking the
intergenerational transmission of poverty. The World Bank’s
support to early childhood development (ECD) is well aligned
with the Bank’s twin goals of reducing extreme poverty and
promoting shared prosperity. This evaluation by the
Independent Evaluation Group examines the Bank’s design and
implementation of projects across sectors supporting ECD
interventions to inform future operations and provide inputs
to the new Global Practices and Cross-Cutting Solutions Areas. |
