Early childhood is the most important stage of human development.
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), there is little
research and inadequate investment in this crucial stage of life.
This book assesses the state of early childhood development (ECD)
in MENA from before birth through age five, examining multiple
dimensions of early development including health, nutrition,
socio-emotional development, early learning, and early work. The
book begins with a discussion of the importance of ECD as a
critical foundation for later development, and also as a stage of
life when inequality and social exclusion begin. ECD in MENA is set
in a global context, and then countries within MENA are compared,
with chapters on ECD in Algeria, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan,
Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, West Bank and Gaza, and
Yemen. As well as illustrating the state of ECD, the chapters
assess risk and protective factors for early development and the
extent of inequality in early childhood. A discussion of policies
and programs that can enhance ECD illustrates how inequality and
shortfalls in early development can be effectively addressed. This
book will be of interest to anyone interested in the state of human
development and inequality in MENA.
