The Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups (MoCDGWSGs) together with Early Childhood Development stakeholders have developed the National Multisectoral Early Childhood Development Program (NM-ECDP) which was officially launched in 13th December, 2021. For effective implementation, strong leadership and coordination is pivotal in the course of implementation to provide an oversight to all key ECD Ministries, Departments, Agencies (MDAs) and stakeholders to ensure Nurturing Care components are reflected in their relevant policies, strategies, programs, regulations and guidelines as well as ensuring that there is adequate allocation of resources to implement their relevant parts of the National Multi-Sectoral Early Childhood Development Programme (NM-ECDP) 2021/22-2025/26.
