ECOS Partners

Big challenges demand bold collaboration. Real transformation for young children happens when people and organizations unite across borders, sectors, and roles — sharing knowledge, co-creating solutions, and investing in lasting change.

The ECOS Institute brings together a growing global community of Knowledge Partners, Institutional Partners, and Funders who are working side by side to connect research, policy, and practice. Together, we are building systems that are equitable, connected, and ready for the future.

Knowledge Partners 

For those who design and co-create offerings.
Knowledge Partners share their expertise through the ECOS Institute by creating certified, multilingual, and co-created offerings that serve professionals across the early childhood ecosystem. They bring training, courses, and resources to the platform, expanding access to knowledge that is grounded in evidence, innovation, and real-world practice.

Who Can Become a Knowledge Partner at ECOS

Universities, NGOs, professional development centers, civil society organizations, and individual experts — anyone with high-quality evidence, practice, or innovation to share can contribute. If you are shaping the lives of young children, your knowledge belongs here

Benefits of Becoming a Knowledge Partner at ECOS

  • Amplify your reach — bring your offerings to a global audience.
  • Co-brand and certify — gain recognition and credibility through our platform.
  • Generate revenue — share in sustainable income streams.
  • Be part of a movement — join a community of peers co-creating the future of early childhood.

Quality Assurance & Support

Every offering is guided by our Quality Framework: co-designed with practitioners, reviewed by peers, and tested in real-world contexts. ECOS provides Knowledge Partners with templates, marketing support, and multilingual adaptation so that your expertise achieves maximum impact.

Revenue-Sharing & Co-Branding

We believe in shared value. Providers benefit from revenue-sharing models, visibility through co-branding, and access to a trusted platform that scales your work beyond borders.

Institutional Partners

Institutional partnerships are about building sustainable systems together, not just delivering one-time projects. We work side-by-side with organizations to ensure professional learning is embedded, scaled, and sustained where it’s needed most. Here’s how we support our Institutional Partners:

Quality Assurance & Support

  • Strategic Alignment – We start by aligning goals with local and national priorities, ensuring that professional learning initiatives are relevant, scalable, and sustainable.
  • Integration into Systems – We help embed offerings into workforce development plans, policies, and service delivery models, reducing fragmentation and duplication.
  • Leveraging the ECOS Platform – Partners gain access to a trusted, multilingual platform to deliver offerings at scale, reaching diverse audiences without needing to build new infrastructure.

  • Capacity Building – We strengthen local institutions through training, coaching, and resources, ensuring knowledge stays rooted in communities.

  • Ongoing Collaboration & Evaluation – Together, we monitor impact, share insights, and continuously adapt to evolving needs and challenges.

Funders

We partner with philanthropic organizations, institutional donors, and public agencies to turn resources into lasting impact — strengthening practice, elevating the workforce, and ensuring professional learning reaches those who need it most.
