The workshop examined topics related to supporting family and community investments in young children globally. Examples of types of investments included financial and human capital.

Over the course of the 3-day workshop, researchers, policy makers, program practitioners, funders, young influencers, and other experts from 19 countries discussed how best to support family and community investments across areas of health, education, nutrition, social protection, and other service domains.
