In the current study, we test the effectiveness of a range of quality improvement interventions at informal preschools in Malawi on early childhood development and primary school readiness, using a cluster-randomized controlled trial (cluster-RCT).

In this study, we used a randomized controlled trial to examine effects of book distribution and support for book sharing to provide support for parents, and cognitive stimulation for children in rural Kenya.

This study explores two approaches to scale-up: converting a home-visiting model to a group-based model; and integrating the ECD curriculum into an existing government program.

This study, funded by NICHD, assessed the most effective and cost-effective model of delivery for an integrated stimulation and nutrition intervention to improve parenting practices and child developmental outcomes among families with young children in rural Kenya.

The aim of the RINEW project (Research on Integration of Nutrition Early child development and WASH) was to design and evaluate a multi-component early child development intervention and pilot its scale-up through the government health system in Bangladesh.
