Abstract:
This snapshot summarizes preliminary findings related to child health and nutrition from the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Study in Lao PDR. The ECE Study was initiated to evaluate the Early Childhood Education Project. The results presented here represent data collected on the status of child health and nutrition prior to the implementation of the project. Data will be collected again after the project has finished to see if the project has improved outcomes for children. This snapshot highlights that child under nutrition is a serious public health issue in Northern Laos PDR.
