Abstract

The principle goals of the study are to: a) Develop a generic culturally sensitive and participatory methodology that can be used by OSISA to generate information on ECDE knowledge attitudes, beliefs and practices in areas in which they deliver programmes; the methodology will be informed by several participatory approaches used in the South African context . For example the development of ECDE standards in South Africa and the validation of the National Early Learning Development Standards for South Africa. b) Use this methodology to generate descriptions of perspectives (KABP) regarding ECDE within modern urban and rural traditional communities in each focal country with a view to informing the development of locally sensitive and appropriately targeted ECDE advocacy and communication content
