I visited the Early Childhood Development Virtual University(ECDVU) Sub Saharan Africa(SSA) website. ECHVU is a three year graduate degree program geared toward increasing information of the ECD in Africa.

Some of the current research topics include:
-The Status of Cooridination and Supervision of Early Childhood Education in Ghana
-Involving Fathers in Early Childhood Care and Development
-Curriculum Development using Community Resources
-Strengthening the Capacity of Grandparents in Providing Care to Children Less than 8
  Years Old Affected by HIV/AIDS

Their "generative curriculum" involves
-a learner-focus approach
-an ecological approach
-a capacity building approach
-a co-constructive approach
-a multicultural approach
-a cohort driven approach
-a historical approach
Local voices and perspectives are very important to their learning.

I enjoyed learning about this website because it gives me an opportunity to see how other countries address the issues of Early Childhood Education.  ECHVU partners with ECD leaders across the continent so that provides even more valuable information that can be used as a resource.
