How is the ECDI2030 score as a composite variable generated from the various domains of early childhood development index i.e. health, learning and psychosocial well being?

The ECDI2030 uses a simple additive approach. Each domain contributes specific binary indicators, and the composite score is the proportion of items in which the child meets the developmental benchmark. If you need exact weighting, it depends on the survey phase because UNICEF documentation lists domain specific items rather than a single weighted formula.
