abstract: 'The early years are critical and inform the developmental trajectory of
children. This is justifiably attracting growing policy attention. Much
of this attention is focused on interventions and policies directed at
parents, especially mothers. Yet emerging evidence suggests that
increasing numbers of children in rapidly urbanizing low- and
middle-income countries are now spending much of their day with other
formal and informal childcare providers, including largely unregulated
paid childcare providers. This paper summarizes the limited literature
about the use of such paid childcare in low- and middle-income countries
in sub-Saharan Africa, before considering possible reasons behind the
lack of research evidence. Finally, key research gaps and their
implications for public health practice are explored, with reference to
the ongoing British Academy funded Nairobi Early Childcare in Slums
research programme in Nairobi, Kenya. We argue that improving childcare
may be an under-explored strategy to help some of the world''s most
disadvantaged children in the most important period of their lives, and
that interventions in this largely informal market should be built on a
rigorous research base.
