Unlocking the potential for future generations to thrive
Giving countries the evidence they need to invest in early childhood development at scale.
Investing in early childhood development is one of the most effective ways for a country to fully realise its social and economic potential, but to put successful systems in place, decision-makers need evidence on what works, what works at scale, and what sequence of steps to follow in going to scale.
Thrive is a multi-country research programme that aims to support countries to turn what we know about positive early childhood development into practical, scalable, cost-effective plans, with the potential to transform societies across generations.
About usWe aim to fill evidence gaps about how to take successful early childhood development pilots to scale
