The ECD Baseline Assessment 2022 report offers insights from a parallel survey conducted alongside the Thrive by Five Index data collection process in 2021. This survey assessed 545 of the Early Learning Programmes that took part in the Thrive by Five Index in order to understand the context in which early learning takes place in South Africa. The ECD Baseline Assessment report presents insights into the resourcing, operations, management, financing, human resourcing and infrastructure of South African early learning programmes in a range of differently-resourced areas.

Unlocking Data for Change
To encourage broad engagement and ensure the data drives real change, the full 2024 Index dataset will be made open access by the end of 2025. This means policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and communities will be able to access, explore, and apply the findings to shape better outcomes for young children across South Africa.
We encourage you to engage with the Index, use the data to ask bold questions, generate fresh insights, and spark solutions that help every child thrive.
