Outline • Background • Conceptual Framework • Step 1: Data quality check • Step 2: Describe obvious • Step 3: Focus on disparities • Step 4: Further analysis (to be discussed tomorrow)
I have the rights! • The right to a name and nationality • To participate • To be properly fed • To play • To drink safe water • To be protected • fromillnesses • To learn A call on duty bearers to develop a positive agenda for rights in early childhood!

A frame for data interpretation Home EnvironmentSupportive factors: • Support for Learning • Father’s Support for Learning • Learning Materials: Children’s Books • Learning Materials: Playthings • Risk factors: • Inadequate Care • Violent Discipline • Stunting Access to Services Supportive factors: • Attendance to Early Childhood Education • Access to Health Services • Birth Registration • … • Early Childhood Development Index
Attendance to ECE • Definition: Number of children age 36-59 months who are attending an early childhood education programme / Total number of children age 36-59 months • Benefits for children: improves child’s literacy and numeracy skills & social and emotional development & Enhances school-related achievements • Benefits for caregivers: Allows women to enter the workforce; increases family & family and community cohesion • Benefits for society: Can cut poverty rates, increase GDP and public revenues - opportunity to break the cycle of poverty (cost-benefit ratio 1:2 to 1:17) • Benchmark for the analysis: national standards on ECE
Support for Learning • Definition: Number of children age 36-59 months with whom an adult has engaged in four or more activities to promote learning and school readiness in the past 3 days (Number of children age 36-59 months whose father has engaged in one or more activities to promote learning and school readiness in the past 3 days) / Total number of children age 36-59 months • Positive stimulation influences child’s ability to acquire cognitive, emotional and social competencies and with decreased behavioral problems later in life • Benchmark for the analysis: 100% support
Learning Materials • Definition: Number of children under age 5 who have three or more children’s books (Number of children under age 5 with two or more playthings) / Total number of children under age 5 • Importance: strong association between availability of books and literacy/numeracy skills (cognitive development) and socio-emotional development
Inadequate care • Definition: Number of children under age 5 left alone or in the care of another child younger than 10 years of age for more than one hour at least once in the past week / Total number of children under age 5 • Leaving a young child alone or with another young sibling is associated with: • Increased risk of harm and injury • Increased risk of abuse and neglect • Increased mortality • Methodological issue: the definition changed • Benchmark for the analysis: 0% left alone
Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) • A tool to assess several areas of child development: physical, social/emotional, literacy/numeracy (cognitive), learning • Definition: Number of children age 36-59 months who are developmentally on track in literacy-numeracy, physical, social-emotional, and learning domains / Total number of children age 36-59 months • Provides a snapshot of (or a window into) the child’s developmental status at the time of measurement • Can be used to measure outcomes of ECD, nutrition or health interventions • ECDI needs to be put in context of other variables available from MICS and other sources
