Early childhood care, development and education

Overview

We believe deeply in the transformative value of high-quality early childhood care, development and education (ECCDE) services for their profound impact on young children, their families and caregivers, and for the betterment of societies and economies.

In the countries where we work, which have large young populations, we view early childhood investment as a major opportunity to build human capital, realise child rights and promote gender equality.
