It operates under the umbrella of the ANECD, aligning with its areas of intervention and orientations while implementing its plans and programs at the national level.

• Supporting national efforts in the successful implementation of ECD programs.
• Promoting comprehensive and high-quality ECD interventions in line with the national strategy.
• Networking with early childhood stakeholders in Tunisia and national networks across Arab countries.
