ALT Globally, 53 million children under 5 years of age around the world are living with a developmental disability. Early child development (ECD) programmes often exclude children with developmental disability, and few studies have examined the health, social, emotional and financial impacts, cost-effectiveness and strategies for sustainability at scale. A sustained and coordinated approach to early detection and intervention is needed to improve the life chances of millions of affected children and their families around the world, particularly those living in the hardest-to-reach communities in the lowest resource settings. This study will evaluate the PDC/Baby Ubuntu programme, implemented by Partners in Health in Rwanda. The Pediatric Development Clinic (PDC) provides early care for young children at risk of developmental disability, monitoring development and growth, whilst providing support to caregivers.
