This book describes approaches to capacity promotion that respond to the complexities and possibilities of communities—at local and country levels. These initiatives challenge established developmental narratives in early childhood education, care and development (ECD), and in so doing, provide alternative ways for scholars and practitioners in ECD, education, and the broad international development field to enhance capacities.
This book is available in both English and French.
