Pan-African Early Childhood Development Conference

24 August 2010

The Centre for Early Childhood Development, in association with the Chaeli Campaign and the HCI Foundation, is hosting an Early Childhood Development Conference between 27 and 29 September 2010 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Quality early childhood development programmes are a means of eradicating poverty.  In order to be able to offer quality ECD programmes, it is essential that ECD stakeholders, including staff from ECD non-profit organisations (NPOs), government officials, donors as well as civil society members involved in ECD are properly informed.  By providing ECD stakeholders with information on best practice in early childhood development we can improve the quality and quantity of ECD programmes and education for young children in Africa.

Attend this conference to:

• Obtain opportunities for constructive engagement which will enhance ECD programmes, improve service delivery, build capacity and advance early childhood development in Africa.
• Understand the ECD sector in Africa and learn more about innovative ways to implement more effective ECD programmes
• Meet with other ECD stakeholders

This conference takes into account the rapidly changing ECD environment in Africa and the rest of the world. With this in mind, the conference welcomes those who want to share, discuss and learn more about the challenges and opportunities in ECD in Africa, and discover how we, as a continent, can use that information to ensure that Africa’s children are Africa’s future.

Theme: Africa’s Children, Africa’s Future
