Early childhood is defined as the period of a child’s life from conception to age eight. The main goals of this initiative are to: (1) highlight the importance of Integrated Early Childhood Care and Development; (2) demonstrate/advocate the positive linkages between ECD and the broader EFA goals, for example in preparing children for school, increasing access, achievement and retention in primary school, and as a way of improving girls’ education; and (3) monitor the progress of the first EFA goal at local, national, regional and international levels since Dakar. In addition, the Initiative examines how countries are including strategies to support young children affected by HIV/AIDS in developing EFA national plans of action. More |
