The Regional Network to Measure Early Childhood Development (REMDI), with the support of the Inter-American Dialogue, last Tuesday November 15 held the online event : The application of instruments to measure child development during the pandemic: Challenges and lessons learned
Since 2019 the Regional Network to Measure Early Childhood Development (REMDI) has been working to promote the exchange of experiences and knowledge on issues related to the measurement of child development in the region. Following the REMDI’s mission of promoting knowledge exchange in evaluation efforts, this webinar explains the challenges faced and the lessons learned by Latin American countries when implementing instruments for measuring child development in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Measuring early childhood development has a strategic role in the early childhood agenda. Latin America and the Caribbean have made significant progress on the subject and have relevant experiences. However, during the pandemic, measuring early childhood development became even more crucial to be able to, among other things, define preventive actions associated with the setbacks caused by confinement.
