Hi Campbell Collaboration team,
Congratulations for the good work on various development aspects systematic
surveys being supported by the Campbell Collaboration. My question is: why
is Earlychildhood development programmes not a priority area while we all
know that they are akey strategy in poverty reduction, contribute to
positive human development, future educational attainments and in
achievement of Millenium Development Goals(MDGS)? which group is reviewing
this important field in development?
The UK Department for International Development (DFID) is calling for proposals from review teams who want to be part of its cutting‐edge pilot. The aim is to increase the use of evidence in policy and to contribute directly to shaping international development policy and practice. DFID has developed a set of over 40 priority systematic review questions.
Proposals from researchers based in developing countries and proposals including such researchers in the study team are encouraged. Applications are due 6 April 2010 and, in total, 25 systematic reviews will be funded.
