“In designing the guideline, it was important to present the information and recommendations in the clearest possible way, while encouraging our specific target audiences such as families, parents, other caregivers and key decision-makers in countries, to engage with the guideline and to put this valuable information into practice.”

— Eddy Hill, Creative director

“It is primarily the family who provides the nurturing care that children need to develop in the earliest years, but many parents and other caregivers need support to put this into practice. This guideline provides direction for strengthening policies, services and programmes to better address ECD, and for countries to work towards related commitments made under the Sustainable Development Goals.”
