Abstract	Lack of transparency regarding the costs of Early Childhood Care and Education contributes to reluctance on the part of developing country governments and donors to invest in developing strong national policies. Building on a paper commissioned by UNESCO, this Working Paper presents a model - applied here to the Arab States - for estimating the costs of making early childhood services available to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
