The Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Early Childhood Development (ECD) adopted a Hanoi Call for Action on the implementation of ECD during its closing session in Hanoi on December 6. The call is expected to contribute significantly to accelerate the effective realisation of ECD in each country in the region in the near future.
