Investment in Early Childhood Development makes good business sense

“Ensuring every child’s well being today is the best way of securing robust economies tomorrow. Currently, Africa and Asia lose 11% of their GDP every year because of malnutrition, a preventable condition. We know that investing in early years interventions across health, wellbeing and learning will allow our children to grow, learn, and earn to their full potential. Our economies depend on our children and we must not ignore the importance of giving them a healthy and equitable start in life.”

- Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Board Chair, GAVI
