The Global Children Initiative: Havard University

http://developingchild.harvard.edu/activities/global_initiative/

Havard University's Global Children's Initiative (GCI) was established in 2009 to advance the Center's mission internationally through a collaborative, science-based approach to improving the survival, health, learning, and behavior of children facing significant adversity. Currently GCI works in Brazil to improve the well-being and life outcomes of vulnerable children while supporting the social and economic development in the country. GCI works in Canada, creating interventions that nurture and protect the early brain development of children living in poverty. GCI also provides support to the Center's Harvard-affiliated faculty members who are working closely with researchers and institutions in low- and middle-income countries around the world, including:

  •      CHINA: ASSESSING CHILD MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS IN SHANGHAI
  •      CHILE: EXPANDING EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE PRESCHOOL QUALITY
  •   SIERRA LEONE: EXPLORING THE INTERGENERATIONAL IMPACT OF WAR THROUGH WAR-AFFECTED YOUTH
  •        ZAMBIA: PILOTING ASSESSMENTS TO MEASURE CHILD DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES LINKED TO MALARIA CONTROL STRATEGIES
