CHILDREN ARE THE FOUNDATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
Children are the
foundation of sustainable development. The early years of life are crucial not
only for individual health and physical development, but also for cognitive and
social-emotional development. Events in the first few years of life are
formative and play a vital role in building human capital, breaking the cycle
of poverty, promoting economic productivity, and eliminating social disparities
and inequities.
UNICEF works with governments, civil society, communities and other stakeholders to design and implement inter-sectoral evidence-based ECD programmes and policies that help young children reach their full potential by supporting families and communities, and by increasing access to quality early childhood care and education (source-UNICEF website)
