Can home visits for early child development be implemented with sufficient coverage and quality at scale? Evidence from the SPRING program in India and Pakistan

Abstract

There is limited evidence from low and middle-income settings on the effectiveness of early child development interventions at scale. To bridge this knowledge-gap we implemented the SPRING home visiting program where we tested integrating home visits into an existing government program (Pakistan) and employing a new cadre of intervention workers (India). We report the findings of the process evaluation which aimed to understand implementation.
