We Communicate For Happy Children
ANECD was established as an initiative by the Arab Resource Collective (ARC) who works through its partners in Lebanon and the Arab world, works to produce knowledge; where in addition to producing resources such as training technical guides and specialised books, it conducts evidence research and designs and implements capacity-building programs for caregivers and workers in the fields of early childhood and mental health.
While ARC focuses on producing content on early childhood and mental health, piloting innovative approaches and methodologies for scientific evidence, and direct implementation based on the Holistic, Integrative, Inclusive, Participatory, and Empower- ing Approach, ANECD focuses on coordination, dissemination and distribution of evidence-based resources and programmes, advocacy and policy impact.
ARC now hosts ANECD in its office in Beirut, where they both work under the supervision of a management team and a technical support team that supports the programs and initiatives coordinators.
