Abstract
The IEA ECES policy report focuses on eight countries that participated in an iterative development and review process to create and evaluate the data presented in this report. It should be noted that, although all of the participating countries continue to further develop their ECE provision and have their own systemic approach to delivering these services, each country is also subject to global demands and developments in ECE, which are impacting on their direction of policy travel. This diverse and dynamic context has led to a complexity in the current structures and systems for ECE in many countries. To set the results of the policy analysis into context, it is important first to understand the basic structure of the ECE system in each of the participating countries.
