The Effectiveness Initiative: creating an environment for learning

This edition of Early Childhood Matters features articles about many aspects of the first 18 months of the operation of the Effectiveness Initiative (EI). The Effectiveness Initiative is an in-depth, qualitative look at what makes Early Childhood Development programmes work for the people who take part in them, and for the communities and cultures that are intended to be enriched by them. However, none of them should be read in isolation: each of them reflects the ethos of the EI, and the nature of the processes that the EI is continuously developing.
