It supports strategic planning by helping policymakers identify missing system components, prioritise reforms, and sequence actions in a realistic and coherent way.
Where to look in this resource
The roadmap describes core aspects of an ECI service, to support identification of key priorities. For example, it highlights key aspects of how families can be engaged effectively in ECI services (e.g., as "experts of the child and family needs", and building on "naturally occurring learning opportunities" that parents already use to support the child's development, p.6).
Description
The roadmap offers a structured overview of the elements required to develop or strengthen ECI systems, including governance, referral pathways, workforce development, service quality, and financing. Rather than prescribing a single model, it highlights common system building blocks and decision points that countries can adapt to their institutional and resource contexts. The steps are designed to support progressive development over time.
