ECD Ranks High In Latin America

The latest Coordinators Notebook of the Consultative Group on Early Childhood Care and Development (Funding the Future) reports on meeting of renowned economists, the Consulta de San Jose, organized by the Inter-American Development Bank in October 2007. They were charged with critically reviewing and prioritizing a wide range of solutions to the most urgent problems of the Latin American region. After three days of structured presentations and debate, the Consulta delivered its verdict, ranking solutions in this priority order:

1. Early childhood development
2. Fiscal rules
3. Increased investment in infrastructure
4. Policy and programme evaluation agency
5. Conditional cash transfers
6. Universal heath insurance
7. Nutrition programmes for preschool children
8. Crime prevention
