“…A significant finding is the strong positive relationship between parental education and ECD, aligning with prior research highlighting the pivotal role of parental education in fostering child's physical, cognitive and socioemotional development [ 16 , 25 ]. Parents with higher education levels are more likely to create stimulating environments and employ effective parenting techniques, fostering more successful child development [ 13 ]. Additionally, the study emphasizes the significant role of socioeconomic factors in shaping child’s development [ 37 ].…”

This study investigates the socioeconomic determinants of early childhood development (ECD) in Pakistan by utilizing the data of sixth wave of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) conducted in the four provinces of the country. The findings of the study reveal that mother’s education, father’s education, economic status of the household as measured by household’s wealth index quintile, region of residence (province), child’s gender, disability, nutrition and the practices used by the adult members of the household to discipline child are important determinants of ECD. The study highlights the crucial role of family background and importance of addressing the issue of malnutrition to foster child development.

IntroductionHigh quality investments during early childhood allow children to achieve their full potential by setting developmental foundations. However, challenges in the scale-up of evidence-based interventions make across-the-board implementation a non-trivial matter. Moreover, extreme contextual conditions -such as community violence, forced displacement, and poverty- impose a double threat. First, by directly affecting early childhood development (ECD), forced displacement and exposure to violence during early childhood, coupled with deficits in nurturing relationships, can trigger toxic stress, affecting children’s mental health and social and emotional learning. Second, contexts of extreme adversity exacerbate common implementation pitfalls in the scale-up of interventions. Recognizing and documenting “what it takes” to successfully implement “what works” can contribute to the expansion and effectiveness of evidence-based programs that promote ECD in these settings. Semillas de Apego (SA, onward), a community-based psychosocial support model for caregivers, materialized as a strategy to promote ECD in communities affected by violence and forced displacement.MethodsThis article presents the results of the process evaluation of SA during the 2018–2019 implementation in Tumaco, a violence ridden municipality in the south-west border of Colombia, South America. In this phase, the program reached 714 families, 82% direct victims of violence and 57% were internally displaced. The process evaluation combined qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches to produce evidence of factors that promoted implementation quality.ResultsFindings identified salient components of the program that promoted the program’s acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, fidelity and sustainability: a rigorous cultural adaptation; well-structured team selection and training methodologies; and a team support and supervision protocol to provide continuous capacity building and prevent burn-out and other occupational hazards common among professionals in mental health and psychosocial support interventions. The statistical analysis using monitoring data identified key predictors of the dosage delivered (a measure of fidelity). Evidence suggests that initial attendance to the program and observable characteristics -such as educational attainment, violence victimization and employment status-predict a successful compliance (in terms of dosage to benefit from the program).DiscussionThis study provides evidence for the development of structural, organizational, and procedural processes for the adoption, appropriate adaptation, and high-fidelity delivery of psychosocial support models delivered in territories affected by extreme adversity.

“…Migrant and internally displaced children represent a substantial segment of populations affected by humanitarian crises, facing multifaceted challenges during emergencies, including physical and emotional trauma, exploitation, and disrupted education [1] [2]. The United Nations Refugee Agency reports that 41% of forcibly displaced individuals are children under 18, emphasizing the critical role of their involvement in disaster preparedness [3]. The third pillar of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child emphasizes child participation, advocating for their active involvement in decision-making processes during crise [4].…”

IntroductionChildren who are internally displaced or migrants face severe difficulties during emergencies, including exposure to violence, exploitation, disrupted education, and mental health issues. The principle of child participation, enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN, 1992), recognises children as rights holders with the ability to actively engage in decision-making processes. However, the literature on child participation in emergency response and recovery efforts for these vulnerable populations remains limited.ObjectiveThe aim of this scoping review is to map the existing literature regarding child participation in emergencies. Consecutively, we want to identify opportunities and challenges related to child participation in emergency response and recovery interventions for migrant or internally displaced children (IDP).MethodologyA systematic search was performed through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar by including key terms related to child participation, emergencies, IDPs, and migrants. The inclusion criteria focused on papers that analyse and conclude on the opportunities and challenges within three core domains: health promotion, education integration, and social integration. Qualitative and quantitative studies published between 2003 and 2023 were included. No geographical limitations were applied to ensure a global perspective. Lastly, data extraction was carried out using the evidence synthesis software RAYYAN under the PRISMA flowchart to provide a methodical collection and presentation.ResultsThe scoping review identified a total of 20 articles, showcasing both challenges and opportunities related to child participation in emergencies. Across the articles, health promotion was addressed in 3 articles, education integration in 14 articles, and social integration in 16 articles. The challenges encompassed issues such as limited access to healthcare, education, and social services, as well as discrimination and a lack of documentation. Opportunities included the provision of youth-centred healthcare, strengths-based approaches, intersectoral collaboration, and the empowerment of children to actively participate in decision-making processes. Challenges and opportunities were context-dependent but collectively emphasised the importance of considering the multifaceted aspects of child participation in emergency settings.ConclusionThis scoping review provides insights into the landscape of child participation in emergencies, particularly focusing on health promotion, education integration, and social integration. The challenges identified underscore the barriers faced by migrant and internally displaced children in accessing essential services and their struggle for social inclusion. In contrast, the opportunities discussed shed light on promising approaches to overcome these challenges, highlighting the significance of youth-centred services, resilience-building, and intersectoral collaboration.The findings not only contribute to the existing literature but also emphasise the importance of recognising children as active agents of change in emergency situations, aligning with the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Future research and policy initiatives should aim to further enhance child participation and integration in emergency response and recovery efforts.
