The Africa Early Childhood Network (AfECN) is an independent professional network that brings together civil society, academia, private entrepreneurs and individuals at national and regional levels to promote holistic child development. Established in 2015, the network was created to develop and advance coherent ECD policy development and implementation throughout the African continent. Harnessing the diversity of strong civil society organizations delivering critical programming and advocacy for young children, AfECN strengthens impact through coordinated action, driven in close collaboration and consultation with key stakeholders.

The Vision of AfECN - An Africa where all children are learning, safe, healthy, happy and are achieving their full potential.
