Why So Many Programmes?
“The most effective early child development programmes provide direct learning experiences to children and
families, are targeted toward younger and disadvantaged children, are of longer duration, high quality, and high
intensity, and are integrated with family support, health, nutrition, or educational systems and services”
(Engel et al., 2007, p. 229).
Integrated services Level of risk and difficulty faced by this community is
extremely high. Quality support to a select group of people Holistic Working Methodology Working with the whole family

I want a career in International Development
Learn another language (UN language) Gain as much international experience as possible Read job descriptions that sound like something you
want to do – look at qualifications required. Think about your specialism (teaching, logistics
management, social work, language etc)- Fill in the gaps.
Development vs Humanitarian Be realistic about your limitations Be prepared to start as an English teacher...make
contacts! Prepare to work hard and earn little – at least for a
while! Grassroots or large development agency?
