CARE Initiative
“The Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN) is a global network advancing policy, investment, and coordinated action to strengthen early childhood development systems worldwide.”
The CARE Initiative is a multisectoral, multi-donor collaborative focused on expanding access
to high-quality, equitable, affordable, and inclusive childcare services. The initiative
supports and catalyzes locally coordinated advocacy to influence national-level policies and
investment decisions that strengthen childcare systems.
Key Implementing Partners
Approach
The CARE Initiative supports multisectoral consortia of in-country partners to build bridges
across movements, fostering collaboration among civil society, research institutions, and
workers’ organizations to drive sustainable childcare systems reform.
Implementation in Tanzania
Through an open Request for Proposals (RFP) process, selected partners are working together
to plan and implement coordinated advocacy efforts to strengthen childcare systems
implemented by Tanzania.
