Together with @EACRN, we're representing CSOs at @africanchildfrm workshop. We're lending our voices to the implementation & monitoring of girls' rights in the East African Community (EAC). CSOs are expected to inform & formulate policies & practices that are gender-sensitive.

The most important level of implementation in ECD is to have the lowest level of administration financed, so that the funds trickle to families. If the resources aren't reaching local governments, & by extension families, there is no ECD 📚🧑🏾‍🎓👨🏾‍🎓. ~Graça M.

[Baba Africa @ben_omillo]

@EACRN @ACERWC_CSOForum @NetworkingUcrnn @EACHRights @MTotoNews @G_MachelTrust @Umwanakuisonga ECD should be prioritized and budgeted for by our governments. Leaving this function to County Governments like in Kenya is like abandoning our children at their most needy moment.

''As citizens/CSOs, we need to understand Early Child Development (ECD) and ask ourselves whether we realize it in: structured institutions;🏣 at home (the family unit) 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🏡or in informal set-ups 🛖. '' - Graça Machel @G_MachelTrust

[EACRN @EACRN]

''It is not difficult to come up with policies on Early Childhood Development (ECD). The question we must ask ourselves is, ''How do we move the policy to the implementation phase?'' That's where the DIFFICULTY lies.'' - Graça Machel

[EACRN @EACRN]

In my view, Early Childhood Education (ECD) is the foundational bedrock of human capital development. Without investment in ECD, foundation of human capital can't be realized ~ Graça Machel, DBE, Hon FBA, Mozambican politician & humanitarian for ECD Advocacy Seminar #childrights

[EACRN @EACRN]

Policies address pertinent issues e.g. what constitutes acceptable behavior by employees & clearly defines a sequence of steps to be followed, such as how the organization will respond to any policy violations. We engaged @Move_on_Afrika in this exercise. #childrights #policies
