In a recent statement, Prince Abdulaziz bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, the President of the Arab Council for Childhood and Development (ACCD), emphasized the critical importance of the early childhood stage. According to Prince Abdulaziz, this stage plays a pivotal role in shaping and solidifying social concepts while also allowing children to explore their own identities and develop greater levels of independence, creativity, and innovation.

During his address at the inaugural session of the Regional Forum of the Arab Network for Early Childhood (ANECD) in Cairo, Prince Abdulaziz emphasized the pivotal role of children as catalysts for societal progress. Since its inception, the ACCD has diligently prioritized the crucial early childhood stage, making it a central pillar of the council's endeavors. In this realm, the organization has successfully introduced a multitude of valuable resources, initiatives, and collaborative projects in conjunction with esteemed partners such as the Arab Gulf Program for Development (AGFUND) and various significant international and regional entities.
In his remarks, he highlighted the significance of the forum as a platform to commend the collaborative efforts between the ACCD and the ANECD. This partnership, culminating in a memorandum of understanding, signifies a milestone in their shared commitment to childhood development. He expressed his hope for further initiatives and events that will contribute to the realization of their mutual objectives.
