Strengthening care systems starts with getting the policy right. Through the Action for Paid Childcare Sector Transformation (ACT) Project, @covaw engaged the Kakamega County Executive Committee in a technical review of the Draft Kakamega County Care Policy, an important step toward ensuring it aligns with the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) and is ready for submission to the County Assembly. As emphasized by County Attorney Ms. Vivianne Mmbaka, this validation process is key to safeguarding fundamental human rights and ensuring the policy is practical, enforceable, and impactful. At its core, the policy seeks to ensure that care work is formally recognized, measurable, and fairly rewarded, because care is work, and it must count. #Act4Care #ACTProjectKE #CareWorkCounts #GenderEquality #PolicyForChange #WUSC #COVAW #Kakamega

@COVAW, through the Action for Paid Childcare Sector (ACT) Project, hosted a 3-day workshop on the establishment and registration of childcare facilities in Kisumu County. Participants were sensitized on: - Standards for setting up childcare facilities - Registration and licensing requirements - Developing compliance plans for a structured, accountable sector This initiative ensures that: - Children have spaces where they can thrive and develop safely - Childcare workers and entrepreneurs are empowered to formalize their businesses - The sector moves toward a structured, professional system that benefits the whole community. Together, we are building a stronger, safer, and more professional childcare sector in Kisumu. #TransformingCare #ACTProjectKE #ChildcareWorkIsWork #ValueCareWork #KisumuCounty #WUSC #COVAW

We are proud to celebrate our ongoing partnership with @WUSC, an organization setting a powerful example by addressing power imbalances in international development. By intentionally shifting leadership and funding to local organizations, they ensure that those closest to the challenges are the ones driving sustainable change. Our very own Fridah Wawira Nyaga recently had the honour of speaking to the WUSC leadership, Steve Mason and the Youth Advisory Council (@YouthAdvisoryC3) during their visit to Kenya. @WorldUniService and @covaw are implementing the #ACTProject in Kenya on transforming child care work from a job of last resort to a vocation of choice. We look forward to continuing this impactful work together! #TransformingCare #ACTProjectKE #ChildcareWorkIsWork #ValueCareWork

At the recently held Lanka Impact Investment Summit 2026-a landmark event in Sri Lanka’s sustainable finance journey, @UNDP #SriLanka Resident Representative @AzusaKubota in her keynote address under the 'Potential to Impact' plenary, emphasized that true transformation goes beyond supporting individual enterprises-it's about strengthening the entire ecosystem. This milestone summit was convened by the @LIIN_SL and @GSGImpact Sri Lanka, with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) as the anchor partner through the World University Service Canada (WUSC), and in collaboration with key ecosystem actors such as the @FAOSriLanka, @UNDP, GIZ Sri Lanka, and the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs. By building robust readiness systems and leveraging tools like the UNDP #RAPIDA Assessment, we’re helping #SriLanka’s MSMEs not just recover, but thrive for a just, green, and sustainable future. @UNDPasiapac @UNDP_SDGFinance
