On November 11, 2014, the Forum on Investing in Young Children Globally of the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, in partnership with Fundacao Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal in Sao Paulo, Brazil, held a 1-day workshop. The purpose of this interactive public workshop was to highlight efforts made to scale program investments across health, education, nutrition, and social protection that aim to improve children's developmental potential. Invited speakers and public participants explored four topics on scaling up program investments: evidence of impact for effective investments in young children; scalability of investments; sustainability of investments; and governance. This brief summary of the workshop highlights the topics raised by panelists, moderators, and public participants, while also including possible directions for further discussion.
