  • Abstract:
  • The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme is one of the largest community-based early childhood care and education (ECCE) programs worldwide. Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) play a vital role in delivering ECCE services at the grassroots level. However, existing evidence indicates significant gaps in AWWs' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to ECCE implementation across various Indian states. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of AWWs towards ECCE in the South East district of Delhi to identify capacity-building needs for enhancing service delivery under the ICDS program. The study employed a descriptive research design, utilizing structured questionnaires administered to a sample of 18 Anganwadi centers participating in an ECCE/ECD project led by MAMTA Foundation. Quantitative data from close-ended questions were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data from open-ended questions underwent thematic analysis. The findings of this study will generate actionable insights to inform policy and capacity-building initiatives for AWWs, ultimately contributing to the realization of the ICDS scheme's potential in providing quality ECCE services to urban populations.
