The website is a resource-rich forum for information on ECD and why is it important. It entails sections on:
Regional networks: There currently are eight identified regions feeding into the CG: Latin America, the Caribbean, Arab countries, South East Asia, South Asia, Eastern and Southern Africa, West Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
ECD info: provides information regarding the concept of ECD and how it builds the foundation of all later learning.
Initiatives: The CG operates through an International Secretariat, which draws on the consortium, the regional representatives and others’ work, knowledge and expertise for its dissemination, awareness-raising and advocacy work.
Resources: provides a list of ECD websites, organizations and upcoming conferences and events advocating for children, their families and communities.
Library: you can search the library for information on Early Childhood Care and Development around the world.
