Global Knowledge

Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website   http://developingchild.harvard.edu/initiatives/global_initiative/), was a very interesting website to review and it is filled with a plethera of information on many of the global issues as it relates to young children. The growing attention that has been given to early childhood health has opened the opportunity for countries all over the globe to begin transforming the health og their children. While  large  number of studies have inverstigated the impact of early childhood expereince on children's develomental, health, and educational outcomes in developed countries, relatively little evidence is available on early childhood development in sub-Saharan Africa (Global Children's Intiative). On this website I have learned that all though the world has made great strides to help benefit young children, that many of them (the poorest countries) are still struggling to get the basic needs. On going studies in Zambia are being performed to address the lacking evidence of improvement. The ZECDP (Zambian Early Childhood Development Project) has made a collabrative effort to research the different health issues of Zambia.
