FR Panel Discussion: Early Childhood Education and Nutrition

-
Online

The Nutrition subgroup of the Child Health Task Force hosted a panel discussion with three experts on evidence and programmatic lessons on early childhood development (ECD) and nutrition. There is strong evidence for the link between ECD and nutrition, but gaps remain in understanding how to successfully integrate additional components of nurturing care with nutrition in holistic programs. Panelists shared experiences from multiple countries including Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Sudan, and Tanzania.
