Theme 6. Combining/Coordinating/Integrating Program Concerns
A holistic and integral view of ECCD requires programming that takes into account how to coordinate various dimensions and a variety of responsible institutions. Accordingly, sub-topics within this theme are: 1) Intersectoral Coordination; 2) Combining Health, Nutritrion and Early Childhood Development; 3) Combining Child Care and Women´s/Men´s Work; and 4) The preschool-primary school nexus, with emphasis on the "transition" from child care or preschool programs to primary school.
