About

Partnership for Child Development (PDS) - Imperial College, London is a global consortium of civil society organisations, academic institutions and technical experts committed to improving the educational achievement of children, especially girls, through national programmes that enhance the health and nutrition of children in low and middle income countries.

 

PCD’s ongoing research and operational activities in the field of school health and nutrition, school feeding and HIV/AIDS  provide an evidence-based platform that assists countries and international agencies turn such findings into national interventions.

 

PCD is recognized internationally for its focus on quality science in development and this work has shown how simple health and nutrition interventions, implemented through schools can improve not only children’s physical wellbeing, but also their education and life choices.

 

PCD consists of a global consortium of civil society organizations, academic institutions and technical experts with a streamlined Coordinating Centre based at Imperial College London. The role of the Centre is not as an implementing agency, but to engage specific experts, in specific countries, on specific issues, as and when required. In this way, we are able to bring together a distinct combination of academic excellence, technical expertise and high level networks to governments and international organizations, resident in many different countries.

 

What we do

Our goal is to improve the educational achievement of children, especially girls, through national programmes that enhance the health, nutrition and psychosocial status of children in low and middle income countries. Some examples of our recent work can be found in our 2010 Annual Report organised under our four objectives:

  • To strengthen the evidence base: promoting good practice of cross-sectoral SHN programmes.
  • To strengthen the capacity of the education sectors in low and middle income countries: developing policies and plans for cross-sectoral programmes in SHN, early child development, HIV education and support for orphans and vulnerable children.
  • To improve, collect, share and disseminate knowledge: on cross-sectoral SHN programmes.
  • To strengthen global, regional, national and local partnerships: facilitating consensus and supporting effective programme coordination and implementation.
