The Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood (ARNEC) is one of the most extensive and fastest growing networks for early childhood development in the Asia-Pacific region. It covers 47 countries and includes East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Pacific sub-regions, as well as Central Asia to a small extent. We are making efforts to create a stronger and more dynamic ECD (early childhood development) community in the Asia-Pacific, by equipping ARNEC members with updated knowledge to help them become effective advocates for holistic and inclusive ECD, by creating an environment where members feel motivated and connected to participate and contribute in our activities, while making sure that ARNEC membership represents diverse communities and interests that make up the field of early childhood.
