Early Childhood Development Action Network
ECDAN recognizes that experiences in the first years of life impact a child’s holistic outcomes in adulthood.
Therefore, allocating resources to support young children and their caregivers is one of the best investments governments can make to develop human capital and promote economic growth. Even though the science is clear, programs for the youngest children are often underfunded, siloed, small-scale, and limited in scope. ECDAN was created to bring greater visibility, collaboration, and scale to this issue and achieve better outcomes for children aged 0-8.
