Abstract
‘A nation that invests in its youngest citizens shows wisdom and foresight, and can, therefore, be assured of a promising future. This essay argues for investment in essential services that support and promote young children’s development and the realisation of their full potential. It describes pertinent conceptual shifts and related actions needed to improve and extend current service delivery and considers strategies to ensure that early childhood development (ECD) interventions are implemented effectively at community level. The essay answers the following questions: Investing in ECD interventions – what difference will it make? From concepts to action – how do we move ECD services forward? Making ECD services work – how do we apply an ecological approach?’ [p. 78]
