Pak Paed J Jan ;26(3):139-45.

As we enter the new century, it is clear that child development initiatives are at a critical crossroads. It is time to reflect on what has been accomplished in the previous decade and define the challenges we face in taking child development initiatives to the next level. There is no doubt that there has been some improvement in infant and child survival over time; however, the corresponding improvement in the quality of life of survivors has been disappointing. In this paper, the outcomes of various global initiatives taken towards Early Child Care For Development (ECCD) are analyzed. Important lessons are highlighted, and possible suggestions made for further efforts and resources required to make ECCD initiative truly effective. This is a review article.
