🏛️🇹🇿@ecdnetwork and partners met with Parliamentary committee to demand dedicated, strategic budget allocations for Early Childhood Development. Investing in the first 8 years isn't a social cost it's Tanzania's ultimate human capital strategy. Link https://t.co/zIYRt8D3nn

[Tanzania ECD Network @ECDNETWORK]

Tanzania has 9.5M+ children under 5, yet <5% access formal childcare. Childcare is critical for early development, gender equality, and women's economic empowerment, but the sector remains underfunded. Lets act. Read the full research: https://t.co/GBD5CJQFs9

One voice can harmonize an entire ecosystem. 🇹🇿
In ECD, working in silos compromises a child's future. Health without nutrition drops the ball; early learning without safety falls short.

When we coordinate, our children win.
