Summary: | This report presents an analysis of the
Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs and policies
which affect young children in the Kyrgyz Republic. This
report is part of a series of reports prepared by the World
Bank using the Systems Approach for Better Education Results
(SABER)-ECD framework and1 with financial and technical
support from United Nations International Children's
Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The Kyrgyz Republic has a
population of 5.5 million inhabitants, of which 65 percent
reside in rural locations. Nearly 36.8 percent of the
population lives below the poverty line, and 8.6 percent of
the eligible workforce is unemployed. SABE-ECD collects,
analyzes and disseminates comprehensive information on ECD
policies around the world. In each participating country,
extensive multi-sectoral information is collected on ECD
policies and programs through a desk review of available
government documents, data and literature, and interviews
with a range of ECD stakeholders, including government
officials, service providers, civil society, development
partners and scholars. The SABER-ECD framework presents a
holistic and integrated assessment of how the overall policy
environment in a country affects young children's
development. SABER-ECD identifies three core policy goals
that countries should address to ensure optimal ECD
outcomes: establishing an enabling environment, implementing
widely and monitoring and assuring quality. |
