Highlights

The needs assessment was commissioned by the Office of the First Lady (OFL) to gauge the conditions at thirty-two poor and vulnerable Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in eight regions of Namibia.

It explores the standard of services provided at some of the poorest and most vulnerable centres in the country, in order to inform the development of realistic, pro-poor, cost effective and context-based interventions which would benefit those most in need.
