This is my first time visiting Harvard University's "Global Children's Initiative" website and I've gained a great deal of insight. Their dedication to early childhood development, child mental health, and children in crisis and conflict situations is commendable.
The global program focuses on three strategic areas:
reframing the discourse around child health and development in the global policy arena by educating high-level decision-makers about the underlying science of learning, behavior, and health, beginning in the earliest years of life;
supporting innovative, multi-disciplinary research and demonstration projects to expand global understanding of how healthy development happens, how it can be derailed, and how to get it back on track; and
building leadership capacity in child development research and policy—focused on both individuals and institutions—in low- and middle-income countries to increase the number and influence of diverse voices and perspectives that are contributing to the growing global movement on behalf of young children.
