The conference participants adopted the Moscow Framework of Action, which outlines a number of challenges that must be tackled to achieve ECCE goals. These include a lack of political commitment, inadequate public funding, low external support and effective delivery of services.
Closing the conference, Vice-President of the Seychelles Danny Faure requested that UNESCO also lead the completion of “the Holistic Child Development Index” to allow countries to follow progress towards ECCE and lay the ground for a major review to be carried out in 2015.
