Kizazi Kijacho – Empowering Tanzania’s next generation for economic growth and inclusion

Thrive - Policy Brief | Tanzania | 22nd April 2024

State-of-the-art research in Tanzania to inform innovative early childhood development programming for the next generation.

Launched in October 2022, nine months after the introduction of Tanzania’s National Multi-Sectoral Early Childhood Development Programme (NM-ECDP) in December 2021, the Kizazi Kijacho (Next Generation) research programme is a major learning opportunity in the government’s journey towards effectively scaling early childhood development services – contributing to the evidence base on early childhood development outcomes, with an initial focus on the first 1,000 days of a child’s life.

In this policy brief, we outline the findings of a baseline survey that forms part of our large-scale study to assess the relative cost-effectiveness and impact of different bundles of early childhood development interventions, tracking their impact on parents, children, and communities in the Dodoma region over a 27-month period.
