UNESCO and ECCE“Learning begins at birth” – EFA Goal 1
++ Following up on our Moscow commitment ++
•Two key considerations: – Taking sector-wide and multi-sectoral approaches to ECCE, with attention to
children’s learning from birth and to smooth transition from ECCE to primary education
– Viewing ECCE as an important strategy for gender equality and inclusion
•Modalities of action: – Targeted evidence-based advocacy– Support to the review and development of feasible policy and programme
options and strategies• e.g. ECCE policy reviews and recommendations
– Support to systematic monitoring of progress• e.g. Holistic Early Childhood Development Index
Partnership is important in all these modalities

UNESCO’s new Directives concerning partnership with NGOs
• Adopted by the General Conference in November 2011. – Recognition of the growing importance of the role of civil society in
every aspect of our daily lives
• Simplified framework of partnership allowing greater involvement of NGOs in UNESCO’s programmes– NGOs are considered official partners for the development and
implementation of programmes.
• A new step towards reinforcing UNESCO’s links with civil society
• Essentially a partnership of an intellectual nature
• Different categories of partnership:– Consultative status – Associate status
