Inspiration Behind Our First Ever Forum
The WED (World Early Childhood Development) Movement, initiated by the Early Childhood Authority (ECA), is designed to enhance Early Childhood Development (ECD) by promoting collaboration and innovation. It addresses future challenges for children, encourages global stakeholder engagement, and culminates in a forum to present actionable ECD recommendations.
