Abstract in brief

  • The article analyzes the challenges of adopting and implementing the Intersectoral First 1000 Days of Childhood Initiative in Western Cape, South Africa, using policy analysis to understand barriers.
  • The initiative aimed to improve early childhood outcomes through a holistic, intersectoral approach called nurturing care, but faced difficulties in execution due to limited support from sectors and issues within the health sector like overburdened facilities.
  • Despite strong political will and global evidence supporting early childhood development, practical challenges such as competing policies and health system capacity ultimately hindered effective cross-sector collaboration and the realization of the initiative's goals.
