The Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN) is a global network that has a mission to catalyze collective action with and for young children and their caregivers by connecting and aligning partners, sharing knowledge and good practice, and advocating for better policies, more resources, and accountability for results.
In 2024, we began implementing our new, five-year strategy. During the consultation process to develop the strategy, we heard from partners about how beneficial they found our knowledge offerings to be. We also heard requests to increase ECDAN’s capacity-strengthening efforts and diversify the types of organizations and individuals that are featured in our activities. All this feedback led to our decision to continue and expand the Knowledge Fellows program in the coming strategy period. This program launched in 2021 and is now in its fourth year
