This new study will focus on assisting seven countries-Jordan, Ghana, India, Paraguay, Phillippines (or Vietnam), Uganda and Turkey-to develop nationally accepted and defined indicators of children's psycho-social development. They will help facilitate the process of developing the indicators and then help them come to an understanding of what they can measure, maintain, implement and monitor.
