JUSTIFICATION/BACKGROUND Investing in young children is one of the smartest investments that countries can make 1. Early childhood development is a top national priority in the country and is an integral part of the National Development Plan: Vision UNICEF works towards supporting the Government of South Africa in early childhood development linking to the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) Outcomes 1 and 13 and the South African Integrated Programme of Action for Early Childhood Development Moving Ahead Arguments on the value of investing in quality interventions for young children have emerged over the past years and research on early childhood development confirms that effective and quality early childhood development interventions have a significant impact on development and well-being of the child throughout life, and is also an investment in the economic and social future of societies 2 Though the investment in inexpensive, poorly resourced services not meeting minimum quality norms and standards are a waste of money 3. Investment in the early years provides a good enough argument to solicit quality and comprehensive interventions, the provision of support, care and intervention services to young children is a fundamental 1 Sayre, R.

2 right that needs to be fulfilled 4. These rights are safeguarded in the international child rights treaty obligations that South Africa ratified as well as in The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Such a rights based approach to the provisioning of early childhood development places a clear obligation on duty bearers for young children, which include parents, in a horizontal application, and the State, in a vertical application, to protect and fulfil the rights of young children. Thus, investing in the care, support and early learning interventions for young children does not only ensure positive outcomes for the wellbeing and development of the individual child, but also ensures the realisation of the rights of young children. The draft National Early Childhood Development Policy for the Republic of South Africa is rooted in the premise of investment in the early years and securing the rights of infants and young children in South Africa, linked to the aforementioned National Development Plan: Vision 2030, Agenda 2063 The Africa we Want, as well as the recently approved global sustainable development goals, which all see investment in quality early childhood development as a key driver for transformation and achievement of suitable development. This assignment forms part and contributes to an UNICEF HQ multi-country initiative on investment in early childhood development. 2. PURPOSE The purpose of this assignment is to develop an investment case that supports and strengthens early childhood development as part of the Government of South Africa s national development goals, through the draft National Early Childhood Development Policy for the Republic of South Africa, for children from birth to four (not turned 5 yet) to ensure adequate resources, quality interventions and inter-governmental arrangements through government, civil society and the private sector. 3. SCOPE OF THE WORK (WORK ASSIGNMENT) This assignment requires cost-benefit analyses, and cost-of-inaction analyses (which may include an ex ante estimation of returns) in developing a solid case for investment 6 in early childhood development of children from birth to four (4) years living within the boundaries of South Africa, focussing on health care and nutrition programmes; social protection programmes; parent support programmes; opportunities for learning; national public early childhood development communications; housing, water, sanitation, refuse removal and energy sources; food security; and play facilities, sport and culture (as prescribed in the draft policy). It will in particular look at the following (a final decision on the particular aspects that are feasible within the scope of the assignment to be made during the inception phase): A deeper focus on the essential components of a comprehensive package of services driving access and quality for health care and nutrition, social protection, parent support programmes, opportunities for learning, national public ECD communications, basic services, food security and play and culture. National, provincial and local spheres of government in the investment for ECD, given that ECD budgets are anchored at provincial and local levels of government. Correct data on children that can be used for population based planning and linked to resource allocation. A component on parents and their role as duty bearers to invest in early childhood development. Parliament, Provincial Legislatures and Municipal Councils, who are responsible for the allocation of resources, approval of budgets and oversight. The inclusion of children with disabilities, i.e. children with developmental difficulties/delays and/or disabilities until the year before the calendar year they turn seven (7), which marks the age of compulsory schooling for all. 4 The Presidency Twenty year review: South Africa: Pretoria: The Presidency. & ACESS (The Alliance for Children s Entitlement to Social Security): Memorandum of minimum obligations necessary to realise the rights of young children (0-9) to an integrated package made up of grants, education, health care, food and nutrition, birth and other enabling certificates, and basic services so as to ensure that they develop to their full potential.

Such investment is based on rights, equity and economic returns through quality, access and adequately resourced early childhood development services, primarily, but not exclusively, through public funding. 2 P a g e
3 Leveraging of technology for increased access and quality. Financial resources, human resources, infra-structure and learning materials.
