PATH works closely with national and sub-national health departments to strengthen the general enabling environment for ECD at national and subnational levels. Such activities will include participating in technical working groups and committees and seeking out and advocating for opportunities to enhance policies, guidelines, tools, and materials with ECD content. Below are several examples of national policies that PATH has contributed to, by adding an ECD component.
