Examples of types of investments included financial and human capital. The workshop also included discussions on how systems can better support children, families, and communities through acute disruptions such as the Ebola outbreak.2 Over the course of the 3-day workshop, researchers, policy makers, program practitioners, funders, young influencers3 and other experts from 19 countries discussed how best to support family and community investments across areas of 1 The planning committee's role was limited to planning the workshop.

Despite this success, Darmstadt pointed out one of the challenges moving forward is to consider how the workshop could be a catalyst to influence Ethiopia's primary care platform among those globally to take on interventions that particularly improve child development alongside child survival. Turning to children during times of emergencies, Darmstadt emphasized there are particular challenges, but also distinct opportunities, in settings of acute disruptions to move the child survival agenda forward by introducing interventions that optimize early childhood development.

Innovative potential occurring regionally and globally in family and com munity investments in young children globally Given the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the members of the Forum on Investing in Young Children Globally decided to shed light on some pertinent questions to stimulate dialogue and discussion on lessons learned from other acute disruptions in children's lives in order to inform future investments in families and communities that may better support children and their caregivers in these situations. Specific topics will include who the actors were, how the systems that support children were challenged, and lessons for the future.

Across the 3 days, speakers will explore questions about the ways in which families and communities invest in children and their caregivers by highlighting the dynamics at play among the diversity of global contexts, including during acute disruptions, types of economies, definitions of family and community investments, and categories of work/labor. Examples will be drawn from low-, middle-, and high income countries, across urban and rural contexts and informal and formal sectors of society, and will focus on vulnerable populations, including vulnerable children and their families and communities.

2. Share examples of models of program implementation at scale and financing across social protection, education, health, and nutrition among researchers, policy makers, implementers/practitioners, and advo cates to implement quality practices and bring these practices to scale, in the context of the economics of strategic, integrated investing in young children.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW The workshop topics were designed to highlight financing models and policies for supporting family and community investments; explore country-level decision-making tools that would provide governments a mechanism to measure program impacts and to scale up interventions; provide perspectives from programs; bring in voices from the ground; explore the specific situation of making investments in families and communities during and after acute disruptions; and lay out aspirations expressed by workshop speakers to further connect the financing and policies back to impacts for young children and their caregivers across the globe. Darmstadt noted that with 75 percent of workshop speakers coming from sub-Saharan Africa, the workshop provided the space to highlight regional issues and hear from those working in the region.
