Important documents such as East African Community, African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Children and the UN Convention on the Rights and
Welfare of the Children all emphasises a multisectoral approach to realisation on the rights of children.
The time for action is now. We must prioritise early childhood development in order to realise development in the EAC and beyond.
