Young children living in conditions of war, disaster, and displacement are at high risk for developmental difficulties that can follow them throughout their lives. While there is robust evidence supporting the need for early childhood development (ECD) in humanitarian settings, implementation of ECD programming remains sparse, largely due to the lack of evidence of how and why these programs can improve outcomes in humanitarian settings. In order to build the evidence base for ECD in humanitarian settings, we review the current state of implementation research for ECD programming (targeting children 0-8) in humanitarian settings, through a literature review and a series of key informant interviews. Drawing from existing frameworks of implementation research and the findings from our analysis, we present a framework for ECD implementation research in humanitarian settings and propose an agenda for future research.
生活在战争、灾难和流离失所环境中的幼儿面临着发育困难的高风险,这些困难可能会伴随他们一生。虽然有大量证据支持在人道主义环境中开展儿童早期发展(ECD),但 ECD 规划的实施仍然很少,主要是因为缺乏关于这些项目如何以及为何可以改善人道主义环境中结果的证据。为了为人道主义环境中的 ECD 建立证据基础,我们通过文献回顾和一系列关键知情人访谈,审查了人道主义环境中 ECD 规划(针对 0-8 岁儿童)的实施研究现状。借鉴现有的实施研究框架和我们分析的结果,我们提出了一个人道主义环境中 ECD 实施研究框架,并为未来的研究提出了一个议程。
