The first 1,000 days of life are critical for shaping long-term cognitive development and overall health.

It also presents key evidence linking early growth to adult health and productivity and outlines evidence-based interventions—such as improved maternal nutrition, breastfeeding, and nurturing care—that have been shown to be effective in improving child development.
