In January 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the
Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council, in
collaboration with the IOM Board on Global Health, launched the
Forum on Investing in Young Children Globally. At this meeting, the
participants agreed to focus on creating and sustaining, over 3
years, an evidence-driven community of stakeholders that aims to
explore existing, new, and innovative science and research from
around the world and translate this evidence into sound and
strategic investments in policies and practices that will make a
difference in the lives of children and their caregivers. Financing
Investments in Young Children Globally is the summary of a workshop
hosted by the Forum on Investing in Young Children Globally in
August 2014. This workshop, on financing investments for young
children, brought together stakeholders from such disciplines as
social protection, nutrition, education, health, finance,
economics, and law and included practitioners, advocates,
researchers, and policy makers. Presentations and discussions
identified some of the current issues in financing investments
across health, education, nutrition, and social protection that aim
to improve children's developmental potential. This report explores
issues across three broad domains of financing: (1) costs of
programs for young children; (2) sources of funding, including
public and private investments; and (3) allocation of these
investments, including cash transfers, microcredit programs, block
grants, and government restructuring. Table of Contents Front
