grantmaking programmes
The Bernard van Leer's grantmaking policy pursues three goals:
- Taking quality early education to scale
- Reducing violence in young children's lives
- Improving young children's physical environments
Grantmaking is focused on selected countries: Brazil, India, Israel, The Netherlands, Peru, Tanzania, Turkey and Uganda. A regional approach is taken within the European Union.
Until 2012, the foundation will also be working in the Caribbean, Mexico and South Africa on the issue areas defined by its previous strategic plan: Strengthening the care environment, Successful transitions from home to school and Social inclusion and respect for diversity.
