Experiences during this period have a lasting impact on a child's ability to learn, adapt, and thrive. Realising these benefits, however, depends on consistent and adequate financing. Investments in early childhood programmes help children develop to their full potential while enabling women to participate in the workforce.As part of our ongoing collaboration with Mobile Creches, we bring to you the fifth and final episode of the series, where we talk about prioritising funding Early Childhood Development. To have this conversation, we are joined by Shekufeh Zonji, who is the Global Technical Lead at Early Childhood Development Action Network. She has worked extensively for Early childhood development and rural development and has a background in Comparative and International Education.
