Creating Tools for Early Childhood Advocates: Showcasing the Knowledge Fellows’ Final Products

This learning event marks the culmination of work done by ECDAN's 2025 cohort of Knowledge Fellows. These four early-career professionals have built skills on how to write for advocacy and distilled key information and formulated tangible recommendations for policymakers on topics of critical importance to early childhood advocates. Please join us for a special presentation of the advocacy resources the Fellows have developed. Their projects include: An advocacy brief that explains the why and how of parenting support, provides promising examples from different country contexts, and recommends policy and investments choices to increase support for parents. An advocacy brief that can be used by advocates in different countries in the global majority to support their national efforts to strengthen childcare systems, with key evidence of the benefits, policy recommendations, and potential financing mechanisms drawn from promising practices in countries. An advocacy brief that includes key messages and specific recommendations that link early childhood to the climate agenda to inspire countries to become champions for young children by taking action in their national climate action policies, plans, and financing decisions. A database of literature that presents an analysis of investments in young children made in one or more country contexts AND an accompanying advocacy brief that summarizes lessons learned from the available literature and draws recommendations for strengthening financing for young children at the country level. Launched in 2021, the Knowledge Fellows program is based on the belief that supporting early-career ECD professionals to develop their skills, knowledge, and professional connections will not only help them increase their interest in continuing in the ECD field but also enrich conversations in the global ECD sector by elevating their perspectives and voices.
