Study Notes
Cuna Más Program
- Cuna Más, a Peruvian national program for early childhood development, launched in 2012, aimed to improve the cognitive and emotional development of children under three living in poverty.
- The program included home visits in rural areas and free, quality childcare in urban areas.
- Cuna Más faced logistical challenges, due to reaching rural communities in a geographically diverse country, including the Andes Mountains and Amazon jungle.
- Significant growth in coverage, with a 50% or more increase each year between 2012 and 2015.
- Concerns arose about the program's sustainability due to a lack of human capacity in rural areas, impacting the delivery of home visits.
Challenges in Scaling the program
- The program faced challenges in scaling the home visiting program in 2016, with concerns about maintaining quality.
- Limited staff, home visitors, and high employee turnover rates were problems.
- The program aimed to have staff with early childhood development knowledge, but hiring qualified staff was difficult.
- The lack of qualified staff was attributed to the Ministry of Education’s lack of sufficient preschool teachers, even with better pay and working conditions than Cuna Más.
The Ministry of Inclusion and Social Development (MIDIS)
- Created in 2011, MIDIS aimed to bridge the health and education gap linked to poverty and marginalization.
- MIDIS coordinated five social programs, including Cuna Más and Pensión65.
- MIDIS was integral to Humala’s "Make Growth Inclusive" strategy, coordinating and integrating social programs.
Program Funding
