The ECD Workforce Hub is an initiative of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), housed and led by the Aga Khan University’s Institute for Human Development. This virtual Hub is intended to promote, facilitate and advance the wellbeing of children and families by strengthening the early childhood development workforce through capacity building and technical support to deliver high-quality programs and policies globally.
The Hub aims to provide: a) evidence-based professional development courses to caregivers, frontline workers, policymakers, and practitioners in delivering effective ECD care and services; b) technical advisory services to meso- and senior-level government officials, policymakers, and practitioners working in the ECD sector to make decisions on priority investments to advance holistic child development, and c) knowledge into action services by translating scientific research from the region and global levels into accessible resources for specific target audiences including, but not limited to, policymakers, frontline workers, programme practitioners, and parents/caregivers.
We are currently offering three courses:
- Science of Early Child Development
- ECD Policy Makers Workshop
- Care for Child Development
