This study was commissioned to examine current early childhood care and education programmes and policies in three countries in the Asia Pacific region: Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. Specifically the study attempts to achieve two objectives: firstly, to give an account of the extent to which a holistic view of child development has been translated into learner-centred curricula that includes health and nutritional needs of young children, and secondly, to address gender issues and the inclusion of children at risk of experiencing marginalisation or exclusion. This study is aimed at practitioners and policy makers to help work directly with young children who are at risk or are made vulnerable by difficult life conditions brought about by social, economic, political and cultural factors. It is the author's opinion that social and cultural diversity, gender sensitivity and equality and a committment to inclusion based on respect for and acceptance of human diversity can be addressed meaningfully through early childhood development programmes.

Developed by EngenderHealth, this curriculum is designed to prepare all levels of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) providers to use communication and counseling skills to assess and address clients' comprehensive SRH needs. It introduces the concept of integrated SRH counseling - a two-way interaction between a client and a provider to assess and address the client's overall SRH needs, regardless of what health service he or she is working within or what services the client has requested. The curriculum trains providers to focus on the client as a whole person and to consider factors both inside and outside the clinic that influence a client's SRH decision-making. The participant's handbook provides information on the principles and approaches of client-centred communications related to SRH and further details the role of providers in creating a good climate for communication, assisting clients in making good decisions and helping clients follow through on their decisions.
