For young children, psychosocial support isn't a curriculum. It's a predictable day, a calm adult, and safety when distressed.

The 2nd EAC Regional Conference on Education is officially open.
Opening the conference on behalf of H.E. President William Ruto, Hon. Beatrice Askal Moe, called for East Africa to move:
From commitments → implementation → results → impact.
Among the key messages: strengthen foundational learning, invest in teachers, use evidence and data, scale what works and invest early, identify gaps early and intervene early.

We’re here!
Where does education transformation begin?
At the 2nd EAC Regional Conference on Education, conversations are underway on building education systems across East Africa that are resilient, inclusive and future-ready.
At AfECN, we believe one answer is clear:
We must start early.
Quality early childhood development and education lay the foundations for lifelong learning, wellbeing and opportunity.
If we want stronger education systems and better outcomes for children, we must strengthen the foundations first.
Early childhood is that foundation.

Earlier today we joined fellow @Necda_ug members for a technical consultation with the @PrimaryDiv on the Gender Audit of ECCE.
A valuable space to review preliminary findings and share sector perspectives ahead of national validation.

More kids are in school than ever before.
But too many are failed twice: by weak learning in the classroom and by jobs that offer few opportunities to build skills.

Vaccines save lives — but only if they reach every child.
Check your child’s immunization card and complete any missed doses.
Together, we can protect every child.

At the #ECDFinancingForum in Kigali, leaders called for action over commitments: turn evidence into practical solutions, act with urgency, and ensure every financing tool reaches every child everywhere—in the home, community, and earliest years. #InvestingInTheEarlyYears

The Investing in the Early Years: Global Technical Financing Forum is now underway in Kigali, Rwanda.
Governments, donors, advocates, and technical partners are coming together to address financing barriers, identify opportunities for reform, and advance innovative, sustainable investments for young children and families.

350M children globally lack access to childcare. This isn't just a gap in care; it’s a barrier to family welfare and women’s economic empowerment. In Kigali, we’re turning these gaps into sustainable investment opportunities.

A key shift separates childcare and early education:
• 0 to 3 years, childcare
• 3 to 6 years, nursery education
This helps ensure age-appropriate support at every stage.

Highlights from the @Educ_SportsUg's ECCE policy launch today:
1. ECCE policy = a national commitment, not just an event
2. Holistic, coordinated systems are essential for every child
3. Implementation is the real test
