International Early Child Development

Building on CED's domestic success with early childhood education programs, CED is working to bring the importance of early child development to the forefront of international economic debates. To date conferences have been held in The Hague, The Netherlands; Washington, D.C.; and Cape Town, South Africa. The next conference is scheduled to take place in spring 2010 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

We believe that business leaders who publicly support early child development have an opportunity to be key stakeholders for economic growth in emerging markets. This project seeks to build a business constituency for reform that can support developing countries in growing early child development programs toward a healthy citizenry and vibrant economy.
