Our initiative was featured in the ISSA Conference 2016 (http://www.issa2016.net/news/issa-conference-presentations/): in a concurrent session entitled, "What is needed to support and promote the early childhood workforce in times of rapid change?" (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d46jg0d28m9wogk/AAB0z5P3Q_s-ZRIdrGqvmX-La/Str...).
Representatives from R4D and from three regional early childhood networks (ISSA, the Africa Early Childhood Network, and the Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood) discussed global, regional, and country perspectives on a number of issues including workforce competencies, professional development, and how to increase recognition of those working in ECD.
