This webinar features several 188体育 studies drawn from the 188体育 research project on early childhood care and development (ECCD) in the first 1,000 days (F1KD) of children in three UNICEF-KOICA areas, namely, Northern Samar, Western Samar, and Zamboanga del Norte.
In particular, the papers examined the contextual factors that influenced the delivery of ECCD-F1KD efforts in these areas. The studies found that the access to and delivery of ECCD-F1KD programs and services is greatly affected by the following factors, such as the lack of economic development/opportunities for most of the LGUs leading to low tax revenue base and poor capacity of many households to access such interventions; lack of integrated planning at the LGU level; lack of coordination in planning and budgeting; the absence of proper monitoring and evaluation; questionable quality of data coming from the OPT; lack of capacity of volunteer health workers; overburdened midwives; difficulty of reaching geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas due to security concerns and geographical barriers; and lack of awareness in some parents and even in local government leaders/officials, among others. More importantly, the studies provided recommendations to address these issues.
