Network Notes COORDINATORS’ NOTEBOOK, ISSUE 22 Activities of the Partners Rädda Barnen —Welcome! Rädda Barnen (Swedish Save the Children) has recently joined the CG and we welcome them! Early childhood is integrated into everything Rädda Barnen does for children, rather than being segregated as a separate programming focus. Rädda Barnen’s work focuses largely on children’s rights, and the “prevention of exclusion”, which means providing children-at-risk with supports they need to survive, develop and participate in their culture. The priority groups are children in hazardous work, children on the streets, children in armed conflict, children in emergency situations, and children with disabilities. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Within the International Programme, Rädda Barnen: supports an ECD network in South Africa; supports demonstration projects in South Africa and daycare centres in Bangladesh; supports local NGOs to provide services and conduct action research on the care of children; conducts child-focused research; and supports local NGOs working on issues of inclusion within Vietnam, Yemen, and Cape Verde. They also support parent associations in several countries as part of their advocacy efforts. Recently they began a new initiative to collect case studies/examples of innovative community-based projects, and to document these within a booklet which will look at mechanisms for community capacity-building activities. Rädda Barnen also develops materials aimed at increasing knowledge in child development and the socialisation of children. They have an extensive publication list, which can be accessed through their Web Site.

At a meeting held in late 1997, <strong>ECCD</strong> was proposed as a top priority for UNICEF. Since then a number of meetings have been held to help shape UNICEF’s vision of what it wants to accomplish within a holistic <strong>ECCD</strong> framework. A meeting in March 1998 in Karachi, Pakistan brought together educators, health professionals, and other early childhood/family advocates from Asia, who together developed a definition of <strong>ECCD</strong> and 66
