Our Executive Director, @Executive_LABE, is in Kigali this week at the Global Technical Financing Forum, where governments, donors, and partners are tackling one of the most persistent gaps in development: the chronic under-investment in young children. Early years matter. Funding must follow. #ECDFinancingForum #InvestingInTheEarlyYears #IStand4Children

The forum matters because beyond theory, the forum seeks to showcase mechanisms like pooled funds, results-based financing, blended finance, and domestic resource mobilization strategies that provide practical solutions for countries to adapt. #IStand4Children #ECDFinancingForum #InvestingInTheEarlyYears #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment

Investing in early childhood is a core development priority. At the #ECDFinancingForum in Kigali, experts & decision makers are unpacking how to catalyze domestic financing & break down barriers to sustainable systems for children & caregivers. Join us: financingforum2026.com

This is how policy moves from paper to people, and from intention to impact. NECDA is committed to coordinating and mobilising actors to ensure the #ECCEPolicy is understood, adopted, and implemented across communities. #StrongBeginningsBrightFutures

“Uganda is stepping up for its youngest citizens. The launch of the ECCE Policy 2025 sets a bold target: reaching 2 million children with quality early childhood care and education by 2030. monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/na…

The policy strengthens regulation through mandatory registration of centres and professional training for caregivers and teachers, while promoting holistic child development across cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language areas.

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.

To every hand that does the work, Happy Labour Day! LABE celebrates our staff, volunteers, communities, and partners who show up every day for children and families across Uganda.

As Uganda moves to implement the National ECCE Policy, LABE is ready. Our home-based ECD model brings early childhood care and education directly to children and families in their communities. The policy sets the vision. We are committed to help make it real. #ECCEPolicyUG #StrongBeginningsBrightFutures #AbaanaBaffe #EarlyChildhood #Uganda

Uganda's National ECCE Policy has arrived. After years of advocacy, consultation, and community voices being heard, the policy that puts our youngest children first was officially launched. This is what a strong beginning looks like for a nation. We congratulate the Ministry of Education and Sports and all partners who made this day possible. The work continues. #ECCEPolicyUG #StrongBeginningsBrightFutures #AbaanaBaffe #EarlyChildhood #Uganda 📷UNICEF Uganda/Balikuddembe

A strong start lasts a lifetime. It was an honour to witness the launch of Uganda’s Early Childhood Care and Education Policy. @UNICEFUganda will continue to support efforts that expand access to quality early learning and care, especially for the most vulnerable children.

We joined the @Educ_SportsUg and partners to launch Uganda’s new National Early Childhood Care and Education Policy. A major step toward stronger foundations for young children.

The new ECCE policy sets out to improve access to quality pre-primary education and bring consistency across early learning centres. It responds to gaps in training, materials, and infrastructure.

The streets of Kampala carried a clear message: the early years count. The ECCE Policy Walk signalled growing national commitment to making early childhood a public priority and shared responsibility #ECCEWalkUG #StrongBeginningsBrightFutures #ECCEPolicyUG #AbaanaBaffe

"We are not simply launching a policy, but marking a national decision & commitment related to the foundation of children’s development. The #ECCEPolicyUG has been long awaited, deeply consulted, and is now firmly positioned to guide Uganda’s future". - @UNICEFRepUG

"For many years, though Uganda recognised pre-primary education as the first level of education under the Education Act, we did not have a dedicated national policy to guide this level in a coherent, regulated & equitable manner." - Guest of honor @MorikuJoyce for @JanetMuseveni

This new policy sets clear standards, includes children with disabilities, holds providers accountable, and ensures every child gets a strong start. Quality in early childhood will no longer be assumed — it will be enforced. #StrongBeginningsBrightFutures #InvestInUGchildren
