Starting in two districts, Sikka and Lembata, the project then extended to Timor Tengah Utara District in 2013 and since 2014 has further extended to Timor Tengah Selatan and Nagekeo district. The most recent phase of the project FY16 to FY17 has focused on two outcomes which are integrated parenting activities and advocacy at district and national level. The Plan Indonesia CM-ECCD project seeks to prove that 100% of disadvantaged children aged birth-8 years in targeted high poverty communities can achieve child wellbeing indicators through effective and quality community-managed early childhood supports. The approach must be appropriate for rural early childhood center settings; user friendly for communities in Indonesia; and implementable through the Posyandu community-run health centres available in every village and other existing programs.
