On 28 March, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) will join the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) of Canada as co-hosts of the roundtable "Adversities, Development, and New Interventions" at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat in Ottawa. This exchange aims to explore understandings of the multiple adversities that can affect child development. IDRC and AKF Canada jointly fund a research on early childhood development in refugee and other marginalised communities. Co-led by the Aga Khan University in Pakistan and Sinai Health Systems, the project assesses the effectiveness of an integrated package of interventions in critical areas of child development and the feasibility and affordability of scaling up in participating communities.
