The role of developmental screening of young children in data collection systems

This webinar unpacks the role of developmental screening tools in providing care and services to young children and their families and their importance as a central component of national data collection systems.

About the webinar series
Optimal early childhood development (ECD) is key to a brighter future. With the recent proliferation of tools and indicators for measuring ECD, there is a pressing need to assess the measurement landscape to effectively inform the development or strengthening of multisectoral ECD monitoring, evaluation and reporting systems. Within this context, UNICEF and the RISE Institute are pleased to bring you this new webinar series.
The purpose of this webinar series is to inform and support data specialists and child development leaders to identify their needs and build capacity to plan the development of national multisectoral ECD monitoring, evaluation, reporting and policy and programme planning systems. These systems will consider and use SDG, regional and national indicators.
