ECD Programs in Forced Displacement Settings Summary

Early childhood is a critical period for socio-emotional development. Findings:

• ECD programs effectively improve the socio-emotional well-being of forcibly displaced children and caregivers, reducing trauma, depression, and stress.
• Programs must address both children and caregivers, using trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approaches.
• Challenges include limited funding, lack of dedicated resources, and difficulty sustaining intervention impacts in unstable environments.
• Recommendations:
  • Advocate for dedicated government and international funding for ECD programs.
  • Design trauma-informed and culturally sensitive interventions.
  • Promote community engagement and integration into existing social services.
  • Use technology to improve access and monitor progress.
  • Prioritize mental health support for both children and caregivers.

Nurturing Care Framework:

• Adapted to FCV contexts, focusing on safety, responsive caregiving, and psychosocial support.
• Programs should include safe spaces for children, caregiver training, and inclusive, holistic support.

Key Challenges and Opportunities:

• Scarcity of resources and financing hinders sustainability.
• Integration with host communities and leveraging technology offer opportunities for broader impact.
• Ensuring high-quality implementation and accurate measurement of developmental outcomes in displaced populations is crucial.
