Review Summary

This CD-ROM contains a well-organized start-to-finish programming guide on Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD). This is a relatively new field focusing on the first eight years of life as key to strengthening the capacity and potential of individuals, families, communities, and nations. The CD-ROM represents the accumulated expertise of 15 years’ work by the Consultative Group on ECCD and makes a convincing argument for quality ECCD programming as a means of breaking the intergenerational poverty cycle.
