Summary
This Methods and Findings Supplement accompanies the strategic report Building Futures: Using Metaphors and Values to Tell a Story of Early Childhood Development in Bangladesh. It provides a fuller description of the research approach, including the design, data collection, and analysis processes. It also offers a more detailed presentation of findings, including the ways in which participants engaged with tested frame metaphors (রূূপক), values (মূূল্যযবো োধ), and a phrase (প্রবচন), as well as the nuances of those responses. By documenting these details, the supplement demonstrates the rigor underlying the recommendations and provides additional insights for those communicating about early childhood development (ECD) and related issues in Bangladesh.
