CLCD is a collaborative, research-based nonprofit organization that plans and implements solutions to promote children’s survival and development. Our mission is to advance research, promote children’s learning, and save lives through research, capacity development, and advocacy.
We collaborate with institutions and organizations to address priority research, programmatic, and policy needs in early childhood development. Recognizing the critical link between maternal health and child outcomes, we also support research and interventions that improve the health and well-being of mothers as a foundation for children’s survival, growth, and development.
