he Government of Tajikistan places a high priority on early child development (ECD) as a tool for social and economic transformation of the nation. Prior to launching large scale investments and embarking on policy changes, the government requested the World Bank and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to support a series of reviews that will enable a deeper understanding of the ECD sector. The first review was concluded in June 2019 and focused on a detailed analysis of the status, policies, and outcomes in early childhood education and care. The current note focuses on the regulatory environment for provision of ECD services, provides a summary of present programs, and makes policy recommendations for enhancing ECD outcomes in Tajikistan.
