Interventions to Promote Development and Optimal Growth

Millions of children in low and middle income countries do not reach their developmental potential. Inadequate home stimulation is one of the key causes. We have produced the most comprehensive evidence of the long term gains from early childhood intervention through the Jamaica home visit intervention. This programme seeks to design interventions that are feasible and effective at scale to address the critical need of improving home environments to ensure children have interactive caregivers and opportunities to learn.
