Delivery of Community-Based Parenting Groups at Scale to Improve Early Childhood Development in Zambia

Early childhood interventions are critical to offset the negative impact of early adversity and to ensure children can reach their developmental potential. The negative impact of early adversity can be decreased or reversed through appropriate early-life interventions. For example, teaching parents play-based activities to stimulate children and providing nutrition supplements for children have been shown to improve physical growth and cognitive and motor development.
