Presentation by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development,Aggrey David Kibenge at the High-Level policy Dialogue on childcare and Women Entrepreneurship.
On Policy Sufficiency:
"The existing policy framework provides a foundation for improving childcare, but more must be done to lower costs and enhance access, especially for low-income women and children under three years of age."
On Public Financing:
"We have seen that public financing of services significantly reduces childcare costs for citizens. A cost-benefit analysis is urgently needed to inform dialogue with the Ministry of Finance and Parliament."
On Quality Determinants:
"Quality childcare depends on two critical factors: standards and workforce. While we have started on standards, we need strategic investments in the workforce, particularly caregivers who also serve as ECD teachers."
On Partnerships:
"The current policy framework provides a strong base for partnerships. Unlocking opportunities through collaborations with civil society and the private sector is essential to support low-income women."
On Evidence-Based Policy Development:
"Policy development in childcare takes a universal but evidence-based approach, targeting foundational interventions such as clear standards, quality inspection systems, and widespread dissemination of guidelines."
On Local Government Engagement:
"Our priority is to operationalize childcare facilities in MATIP markets, strengthen the capacity of local officials, and decentralize program ownership to ensure interventions address community-specific needs."
On Private Sector Role:
"We need the private sector to expand access to quality childcare by increasing the number of caregivers and investing in underserved areas, including refugee settlements and rural districts."
On Supporting Women Entrepreneurs:
"Women entrepreneurs running childcare businesses are crucial. Through initiatives like the GROW project, we must fund their efforts and encourage corporate social investments in childcare." @Mglsd_UG
