Indonesia has begun to emerge into middle-income status, yet
persistent poverty and stark inequalities continue to affect young
children s development. This book tells the story of Indonesia s
efforts to change the trajectory of development for poor children.
Many countries have similar aims, but several aspects of what is
reported here are especially valuable and perhaps unique. The study
offers data on all aspects of health and development in a sample of
rural young children, collected with internationally-validated
measures, as well as household information, information about
parenting practices including feeding patterns, parent
questionnaires, and data on the prevalence and distribution of ECED
services. The data reported in this book is based on a sample of
more than 6,000 Indonesian children living in 310 poor villages,
including two age cohorts (aged 1 and 4 years old when data were
first collected on their development in 2009). From the start, the
project aimed not only to support service provision but also to
support the development of national standards, build national and
district capacity, and encourage the establishment of a system of
ECED quality assurance, efforts that are still in process. Few such
analyses have been done with such a large sample and with multiple
measures. These design features allow a high level of confidence in
the results that are reported. The lessons from this book will help
to inform not only this project s further implementation but ECED
initiatives in Indonesia and around the world. Thus, the results
presented in this book are of significance for researchers,
policy-makers, and practitioners within and beyond Indonesia. The
experiences and research results discussed here are especially
relevant for: Researchers in early childhood development and
program evaluation; Policymakers within and beyond Indonesia;
Providers of early childhood services; Professional development
providers; and Advocates for quality early childhood services."
