<p>Helping poor countries provide 12 years of good quality education, particularly
for girls, is a top priority for this Government. When children get all the basic
nutrients they need in the first 1000 days of life, they do better in school and earn
more as adults.</p><p> </p><p>DFID’s 2018 education policy commits us to delivering
early education and nutrition interventions together, where possible. We are pursuing
this by building the evidence base through the new ‘Thrive’ early childhood development
research programme and through investments in early education in Rwanda and our funding
to the Global Partnership for Education.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government is a global
leader on nutrition; we have reached 60.3 million people with nutrition services in
25 countries since 2015.</p>
